Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Pre-bake the pie crust: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line the pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Blind bake the crust: Bake in the preheated oven until the edge of the crust is golden brown, approximately 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights, then continue baking until the crust is set and lightly golden, about 5 minutes more. Let the crust cool completely before filling. (Bake time: 15 minutes + cooling time)

03

Step
7 mins

Prepare the strawberry glaze: In a saucepan, combine water and pureed strawberries. Bring to a boil over medium heat. (Prep time: 2 minutes, Cook time: 5 minutes)

04

Step
4 mins

Dissolve ingredients: Gradually whisk in the sugar, strawberry gelatin, cornstarch, and salt. Continue stirring constantly until all ingredients are completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. (Prep time: 1 minute, Cook time: 3 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Assemble the pie: Arrange the cleaned and stemmed strawberries attractively in the cooled pie crust. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

06

Step
2 mins

Glaze the pie: Gently pour the warm gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries, ensuring they are nicely coated. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

07

Step
4 hrs

Chill and set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the gelatin to set completely. (Chill time: 4+ hours)

For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider using strawberry extract in the glaze.
To prevent the crust from getting soggy, brush the cooled, pre-baked crust with a thin layer of melted white chocolate before filling.
Gently heat the pie filling to get the pie filling out of the pot to prevent strawberry damage.

    The pre-baking of the crust is crucial. Mine was perfectly crisp.
