Frozen Yogurt Bark is another must-try summertime treat!
This looks amazing, thank you!! I’m desperately hoping we get to have family over for the 4th of July (missing them so😭) and I can make this!
Sure and yes I miss my people too, can relate!
Make sure to remove the worms from your strawberries first 😂🙈
My mom makes the crust for this out of Bisquick. Sooo good
Oh interesting! Sounds yummy!
Yum! Thanks for the idea. I think adding blueberries would be good. And if you use whipped cream, you’d get the whole red/white/blue Americana vibe going.
Oh I LOVE that so much! I may do that for the 4th 😍
Thanks. I have been wanting to make crustless strawberry pie, before my strawberries go bad. This looks easy.
Yes so easy!
Yumm. Same recipe I use besides a different thickener.
Make sure you mix the cornstarch with the sugar well before you add it to the water, otherwise you’ll have clumps. I make a similar recipe that’s a family favorite- soooo easy and always a crowd pleaser!
Yay! I’m gonna make this for our bbq tomorrow;)
Oh enjoy!
Haven’t made any pies before, and wondering what the strawberry gelatin is for?
Basically it’s a filler. I’ve made this many times and it’s delicious! I use Marie Calendar pie crust in the freezer section.
Ahh I see, thank you!
I made this today. It was delicious and so easy! I didn’t change anything on recipe except that I used a pre-made graham cracker crust. I’ll definitely make this again!
I used to make this a long time ago but lost the recipe. Thanks for posting it.
You’re welcome, rwild1! Enjoy! 🍓🥧
I make this recipe at least a couple times a year. I use sugar free gelatin rather than the regular. It cuts the sugar and you also get a better strawberry flavor
Oh nice! Thanks for the tip!
