Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 346kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust any type
- 4 cups fresh strawberries divided
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 packet unflavored gelatin 2 1/2 tsp
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp almond extract
Instructions
- Prep: Slice 3 cups worth of fresh strawberries. Toss with sugar in a bowl and let sit for 10 minutes, stirring every couple minutes, until sugar is dissolved.
- Pie filling: Add cold water to a small saucepan. Sprinkle with gelatin and let sit for 1 minute. Turn on medium heat and cook mixture for 3-5 minutes, whisking to help the gelatin to dissolve.
- Remove from heat and stir in strawberries. Let sit until strawberries are room temperature. (If you're in a hurry, you can refrigerate them for about 30 minutes instead.)
- In a separate large mixing bowl pour in the heavy cream, powdered sugar and almond extract and whip with a mixer on medium-high speed for 5-7 minutes, until cream is whipped into barely stiff peaks. Transfer about 3/4 cup whipped cream to a piping bag; store in the fridge for later.
- Chill: Fold remaining cream into strawberries. Stir to combine and pour into pie crust. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- Top pie with swirls of remaining fresh cream and remaining strawberries. Enjoy!
Notes
If kept in an airtight container, left over pie will hold up well for 2-3 days.
