Ingredients:
To make this mouth-watering dessert, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
- 1 box of vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups of milk
- 1 pint of fresh strawberries, washed and sliced
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- ¼ cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
Now that you have everything you need, let’s get started!
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Vanilla Pudding
Begin by making the vanilla pudding according to the instructions on the box. This usually involves whisking the pudding mix with milk until it thickens. Once the pudding is ready, set it aside to cool.
Step 2: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
Next, take the pre-made graham cracker crust and set it on a flat surface. If the crust is not already in a pie tin, transfer it to one. Make sure to press the crust down firmly so that it stays in place.
Step 3: Arrange the Sliced Strawberries
After you’ve prepared the crust, begin arranging the sliced strawberries on top of it. You can be as creative as you like with the design, but make sure to evenly distribute the strawberries so that each slice of pie has a good amount of fruit.
Step 4: Make the Strawberry Glaze
Now it’s time to make the strawberry glaze that will hold the strawberries in place and give the pie a beautiful shine. In a small saucepan, mix together the cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice. Then, add in the remaining sliced strawberries and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the strawberries have broken down. This should take about 10 minutes.
Step 5: Add the Vanilla Pudding and Strawberry Glaze
Once the strawberry glaze is ready, pour it over the sliced strawberries on the graham cracker crust. Then, carefully pour the cooled vanilla pudding over the top of the glaze. Make sure the pudding is spread evenly across the pie.
Step 6: Chill and Serve
Finally, place the pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or until it has set. Once the pie is ready, slice it into pieces and serve. You can garnish each slice with a sprig of fresh mint or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
Conclusion:
There you have it – a delicious strawberry pie with graham cracker crust vanilla pudding that’s sure to impress your guests. This recipe is easy to make, but looks and tastes like it took hours of effort. Give it a try the next time you need a sweet and satisfying dessert!
