This strawberry pie with icing is prepared in a restaurant. Glaze is added to fresh berries, which are then cooled until serving. Using peach gelatin in place of strawberry gelatin, this is also tasty when made using peaches.

Reviews
Followed directions and it never congealed. Would be ok to put over ice cream but that’s about it.
Made many times. We really like it, in refrigerator as I type??
I didn’t make any changes to the filling but instead of making a pie, I used it as topping on my Christmas cheesecakes. It was great for spreading.
I used sugar free jello and only 1/2 cup of sugar so it wouldn’t be too sweet. It tasted perfect but I thought the consistency was too firm. I will make it again but use less jello or more water. Overall it was a hit with my family.
This pie went so fast I didn’t even get a pic! I used a frozen pie crust and Royal jello, other wise made exactly as written. Deelish!
The 4 tablespoons of cornstarch and 4 tablespoons of Jell-O is way too much for one cup of water. Next time I’ll try it with half that amount. Maybe it should’ve read teaspoons.
Super easy. I used the frozen Marie Callender pie shells. I like them better than graham cracker crust.
Turned out with far too much of a gelatin consistency and flavor. Recommend using 1/2 the amount of jello. But husband and grandson liked it!
It was marvelous, I used an “all ready made” pecan pie crust.
Yes, I will make pie again. My pie was very good and not too sweet but just right. I made my own glaze and also did the layer of cream cheese with confectioners sugar as one member suggested.
This is by far the best strawberry pie recipe I have tried over the years, and I also received many compliments from my neighbors who sampled slices of the pie. With the exception of adding 2 tbsps. cornsyrup, I made this recipe with the listed ingredients. I didn’t have a ready made or refrigerated pie crust so I made a no-roll pie crust from another website. This recipe is worthy of 5 stars, and I will be making strawberry pie again using this recipe!
I have made this recipe twice now and it worked perfectly each time! It tastes great and looks beautiful. It will now be one of my favorite go to recipes for fresh pies!
Very easy I used 1/3 cup of sugar. We are trying to use less sugar. It is still sweet. Will make again
The gel was too thick- not creamy enough.
Used 1/3 cup sugar and 1 pkg sugar free jello.
This glaze was delicious, but too thick! I added another 1/2 cup water but it still could have been thinner. Next time I will use two cups of water or lessen the cornstarch. Definitely a tasty strawberry pie!
I put 8 oz of cream cheese on the crust to give it a savory or more bold taste. It was very delicious!
The best pie ever….first time making it but won’t be the last…
I made this exactly as written and it was fabulous. I have made it several times and it is always great.
I made it exactly as said. Excellent, naturally delicious! It was an easy light dessert that had just the right amount of sweetness to bring out the natural flavor of the strawberries. It brought back wonderful memories of stopping in at BIG BOY after an evening out (45 years ago).
Very good. My berries had come out of my garden and were really sweet, so I reduced the sugar to a scant half cup.
