Strawberry Pie with Graham Cracker Crust

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Strawberry Pie with Graham Cracker Crust.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C). This will ensure your crust bakes to perfection. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of white sugar, and 1/4 cup of melted butter. Mix them together until everything is evenly moistened. Now, press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan, creating a lovely crust. Bake this in your preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and has that delicious toasted aroma. Once done, take it out and let it cool completely. While the crust cools, soak a packet of gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water for about 3 minutes. Then, gently heat the gelatin mixture in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring frequently until it’s completely dissolved. In a chilled bowl, whip 1 cup of whipping cream until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture. In another bowl, toss together 2 cups of sliced fresh strawberries with 1/3 cup of sugar, allowing the sweetness to enhance their natural flavor. Pour the dissolved gelatin mixture over the strawberries and give it a gentle stir. Now, fold in the whipped cream until everything is beautifully combined. Pour this luscious filling into your cooled pie crust and pop it into the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours, or until it’s set and ready to be enjoyed. When it’s time to serve, slice up your strawberry pie and watch as everyone delights in its fresh, fruity goodness!
