A quick and easy no-bake strawberry pie featuring a crisp graham cracker crust, fresh strawberries, and a shiny jello glaze that sets perfectly without baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheets)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 1 package (3 oz / 85g) strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jello brand or equivalent)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (about 450 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
  • Whipped cream or whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Pour in melted butter and stir until crumbs are evenly moistened and hold together when pressed.
  2. Transfer crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish. Press crumbs firmly and evenly along the bottom and up the sides. Chill crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a large heatproof bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over strawberry gelatin powder. Whisk briskly until completely dissolved, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 cups cold water and lemon juice if using. Set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Hull and halve strawberries. Arrange evenly over chilled crust.
  6. Slowly pour cooled gelatin mixture over strawberries, coating them well.
  7. Place pie in refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight until glaze is firm and glossy.
  8. Before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream and fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Let the gelatin cool completely but not solidify before pouring over strawberries to avoid clumps and cloudy glaze. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Chill pie for at least 4 hours for best results. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slices. For dairy-free crust, substitute butter with coconut oil. Agar-agar can be used as a vegetarian gelatin substitute.
