The Perfect Summer Dessert
Summer is the perfect time to indulge in sweet, refreshing desserts. And what could be more refreshing than a homemade strawberry pie? This strawberry pie recipe with jello and cream cheese is the perfect combination of sweet, tart, and creamy.
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry Jello
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together water, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry Jello until dissolved. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of the cooled Jello mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sliced strawberries to the remaining Jello mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the cooled pie crust and spread evenly.
- Top the cream cheese layer with the strawberry Jello mixture.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
Tips and Tricks:
- Make sure your cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the Jello mixture. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have a pie dish, you can use a 9-inch cake pan instead.
- If you want to save time, you can use a store-bought pie crust instead of making your own.
- If you're short on time, you can skip baking the pie crust and use a graham cracker crust instead. Just make sure to use a 9-inch crust.
In Conclusion
This strawberry pie recipe with jello and cream cheese is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, refreshing, and delicious. Plus, it's a great way to use up any fresh strawberries you might have on hand. Give it a try and see for yourself!
