Hungry for strawberry pie but don’t have time to make a gluten free pie crust? This cool and refreshing pie has fresh strawberries, gelatin and a light cookie crust. This is the perfect dessert to kick off your summer!

Ingredients
    Crust
  • 1 1/2 stick Butter (or dairy free butter alternative)
  • 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (I use Pamela's Artisan Flour)
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
  • Strawberry Gelatin Layer
  • 3 cup Water
  • 1 1/3 cup Sugar
  • 6 tbsp Corn Starch
  • 1 (6oz) Package Strawberry Gelatin (I use Strawberry Jello)
  • 6 cup Fresh Strawberries (Sliced)
  • 1 can Whipped Cream or Non Dairy Whipped Cream (optional)
Directions
  1. Crust

    Mix the crust ingredients together in a mixer or with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Pat into a greased 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until crust starts to turn a golden color around the edges. Cool completely before adding the strawberries to the crust.

  2. Gelatin Filling

    In a 2 quart pot, use a whisk to mix the cornstarch and sugar together. Add the water and cook over medium heat whisking often until the mixture is thickened and clear. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin. Allow mixture to cool.

  3. Place the sliced strawberries evenly over the crust and pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the berries. Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more until gelatin has thickened.

    Garnish with whipped cream just before serving.

Note

To make this recipe dairy free, use a dairy free butter in the crust and either omit the whipped cream or you can use dairy free whipped cream.

I used Pamela's Gluten Free Artisan Flour for the crust. I am not affiliated with Pamela's and do not make a commission for recommending their products. I recommend this brand of flour because it is easy to work with and I have successfully substituted it for regular flour in many of my recipes. Let me know if you have tried other brands of flour to make this recipe and how it turned out!
