This 5-ingredient Strawberry Jello Pie is a light and sweet summer dessert made with less sugar!
Yield: 8slices
Ingredients
9"frozen pie crust, regular not deep-dish (I use Pillsbury)
1cupcold water
½cupsugar
3tablespoonscornstarch
1(0.3 oz)package sugar free Strawberry Jell-O mix
12ozquartered or sliced fresh strawberries, (weight measured after cutting the green parts off)
Instructions
Bake the pie crust according to package instructions. For the Pillsbury crust I use, you heat the oven to 400 degrees, poke holes around the crust with a fork, and bake right on the oven rack for 9-11 minutes. Once the crust is baked, transfer to a cooling rack and place in the fridge to cool for 15 minutes.
While the crust is baking, place the water, sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan and whisk together. Cook over med-high heat, whisking semi-often, until the mixture is boiling and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and whisk in the powdered Jell-O mix. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Once everything is cooled, spread the cut strawberries evenly across the bottom of the pie crust. Pour the Jell-O mixture over the strawberries, using a spatula to spread it evenly across the top if needed.
Refrigerate the pie until the Jell-O is set (at least 3 to 4 hours). Cut into 8 slices to serve.
