By Peggy Trowbridge Filippone, About.com

This beautiful no-bake pie is easy to make with fresh strawberries and is topped with sweetened whipped cream. Try this simple method with other fresh fruits. This pie looks beautiful, so do cut it at the table. Plan ahead to refrigerate a few hours before serving.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 pints fresh strawberries, washed, dried, and stems removed, divided use
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 drops of red food coloring
  • 1 graham cracker pie shell
  • Sweetened whipped cream

Preparation:

Place one pint of the strawberries in a bowl and mash with a fork. Set aside.

Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a 3-quart saucepan. Stir in water and mashed strawberries. Stir constantly over medium heat until it reaches a boil. Cook for 2 minutes. Do not overcook or the cornstarch will thin out. Remove from heat and add red food coloring. Set aside and let cool to room temperature.

When sauce is cool, gently stir in the remaining whole strawberries. Mound into the graham cracker pie shell. Refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight before serving.

Cut and serve each portion of pie with a dollop of whipped cream.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings
