I found the original recipe on the label of a graham cracker crust I bought a while back, but made some modifications to what I thought would make it extra delicious.
This is fantastic as a summer dessert when you don't want to turn on the oven. It's bright in flavor thanks to the fresh strawberries, and the texture is light and airy.

Ingredients

  1. 1ready made 9" Oreo cookie crust (or graham cracker crust)
  2. 1 (3 oz)package strawberry flavored gelatin
  3. 1/4 cupgranulated white sugar
  4. 1/4 cupcold water
  5. 2 cupsstrawberries, hulled and sliced (measured after slicing)
  6. 1 cupheavy cream
  7. 3 tbspowdered sugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Place water in a small sauce pan. Sprinkle gelatin over water. Let stand 1 minute. Turn heat to medium-low. Stir gelatin into water. Stir in sugar. Continue stirring over heat until gelatin and sugar are dissolved. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Place berries and gelatin mixture in blender. Puree until smooth. Pour into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours. Test that mixture is set: Scoop out one spoonful, if it stays "mounded" on the spoon it is ready (mine took about 1.5 hrs).

  3. 3

    Whip heavy cream and powdered sugar in a chilled bowl until slightly firmer than soft peaks form (I use my stand mixer with the wisk attachment).

  4. 4

    Gently stir 1/4 of the whipped cream into the strawberry mixture to lighten up. Then carefully add all of strawberry mixture to remaining whipped cream, and gently fold in until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Slowly pour into pie crust, gently spread out evenly. Cover by inverting the plastic that comes with the pie crust and placing that on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

  6. 6

    Note: You can make a homemade graham cracker crust with 1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 4 tbs melted unsalted butter. Mix all together until all crumbs are moistened and press into a 8-9 inch pie plate (bottoms and up the sides). Chill at least 1 hour before filling.

Cooking is a hobby and a passion of mine. I love cooking and trying new and different things. The best thing about cooking? I get to prepare delicious food for my family and friends that they (almost) always love! Lol.Many of my recipes are experiments in what I could make with what was available at the time. Many are simply my version of classic and/or popular dishes. A few are variations of recipes I have found elsewhere online but adjusted to our tastes. No matter what, though, each of my recipes is tried and tested before posting and I hope you find as much joy in preparing them as I do.
