No-Crust Strawberry Pie
Let’s take a look at this beautiful and delicious pie that you can whip up in no time. Below is an image of what this delightful dessert looks like!
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup gelatin (strawberry or clear)
- 1/2 cup sugar (or sugar substitute if preferred)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 small package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the gelatin as per the package instructions. You’ll want to dissolve it in boiling water, then stir in sugar until fully dissolved.
- Once your gelatin mixture is ready, allow it to cool to room temperature. You don’t want it to be hot when you combine it with other ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the cooled gelatin mixture and beat until it is well combined.
- Next, gently fold in the whipped topping until everything is mixed nicely. Be careful not to deflate the whipped topping – you want to maintain that light and airy texture!
- Add in the sliced strawberries and mix them in gently to coat them well with the creamy mixture.
- Pour the strawberry filling into a pie dish or a serving bowl, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it has set completely. A longer chilling time is even better for firmer results.
- When you’re ready to enjoy, slice yourself a generous piece and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired for a lovely touch!
This no-crust strawberry pie is not just visually stunning; it’s also bursting with flavor and the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt. Enjoy each bite and the compliments that come your way for such a lovely treat!
