Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar or sugar substitute
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 packets Unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Whipped topping (optional, light or sugar-free)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, then slice them in halves or quarters depending on their size. Set aside 2 cups of the prettiest slices for topping.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar (or sugar substitute), cornstarch, and cold water. Whisk until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent (about 5–7 minutes).
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the unflavored gelatin until fully dissolved.
Add the vanilla extract and 2 cups of the strawberries into the saucepan. Stir gently to coat the berries with the gelatin mixture.
Transfer the gelatin and strawberry mixture into a pie dish or a shallow bowl, spreading it evenly. Arrange the reserved 2 cups of sliced strawberries decoratively on top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until completely set.
Once firm, slice and serve plain or with a dollop of light whipped topping and fresh mint leaves for garnish, if desired.
