INGREDIENTS F0R STRAWBERRY PIE WITH JELLO
- Deep dish pie crust – I used a frozen Pillsbury one.
- Granulated sweetener – I used Swerve.
- Corn starch
- Strawberry gelatin mix – I used sugar-free Jello.
- Strawberries
- Whipped topping – I used light Cool Whip.
HOW TO MAKE FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE WITH JELLO
- If you wish to bake your own pie crust, do that first. Otherwise, cook your pre-made crust for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F or according to package directions.
- To medium saucepan, add the sweetener, cornstarch, water and Jello mix. Cook over medium heat and stir frequently with a whisk until thickened.
- Remove from heat.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, stir in the strawberries. Allowing it to cool for 5 minutes or so helps keep the strawberries pretty! 🙌🏼
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust and spread out evenly. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until the pie has set before slicing.
- Before serving, top with Cool Whip! You can spread the Cool Whip across the whole top or serve each slice individually with a dollop!
