Description
This is a summer favorite from my childhood! Sliced strawberries, mixed with whipped cream and gelatin for texture, on top of a yummy graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup chopped strawberries
- ⅓ cup white sugar
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl; mix until evenly moistened and press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
- 3. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
- 4. Soak gelatin in cold water for 3 minutes. Heat the water and gelatin in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring frequently, until gelatin is completely dissolved.
- 5. Beat whipping cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form.
- 6. Stir strawberries and 1/3 cup sugar together in a bowl. Pour gelatin mixture over strawberries. Gently fold in whipped cream until incorporated. Pour filling into baked pie shell and chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 2 hours.
