Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Unflavored gelatin
- 0.25 cups Cold water
- 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Fresh strawberries (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture evenly onto the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, combine the 2 cups of chopped strawberries and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine the gelatin and cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm strawberry mixture and stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the cooled strawberry mixture into the whipped cream until no streaks remain.
Pour the strawberry chiffon filling into the cooled pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
Garnish the pie with the remaining fresh strawberries and a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Slice and serve.
