One of my favorite things to make during summer are desserts, specifically desserts using fresh, in-season fruits—like strawberries! To me there’s not much better than a sweet, chilled no bake strawberry pie. It’s too simple to make and too easy to eat, plus it doesn’t require turning on your oven (which is ideal for Summer!).
You know what else is amazing about a strawberry pie, it really doesn’t have all that much added sugar, the strawberries are so sweet you don’t need it! So follow along with me below as I show you just how simple this pie recipe is to make. I love it!
