Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 package Strawberry gelatin mix (3 oz package)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Ice-cold water
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Fresh strawberries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the crust. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry filling. In a medium heat-safe bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin mix completely in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well to ensure no lumps remain.
Add 1 cup of ice-cold water to the gelatin mixture, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside at room temperature, allowing it to cool but not fully set.
Fold the sliced strawberries into the cooled gelatin mixture. Pour this mixture into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate the pie for 3-4 hours, or until the filling is firm.
Once the pie is set, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream generously over the top of the pie, creating a tall, fluffy layer. Alternatively, use a piping bag to create decorative peaks.
Garnish with additional fresh strawberries on top if desired. Chill for another 30 minutes before serving to ensure the topping is set.
Slice into wedges and serve chilled. Enjoy your Sky High Strawberry Pie!
