This super simple Strawberry Pie Recipe is loaded with strawberries and a homemade jelly filling. You will find it to be like the same you find at Frisch’s or Shoney’s. Oh so YUMMY! Since this pie starts with a store bought crust, you can whip it up in no time at all.

Easy Strawberry Pie (Like Frisch’s and Shoney’s)

When I was a child, we lived in Tennessee briefly and we would frequent Shoney’s restaurant for dinner. I recall basically inhaling my dinner so I could enjoy a slice of pie for dessert. The stuff was just amazing.

After moving here to Cincy, I noticed that Frisch’s Big Boy also had this same pie during the summer months. During the summer, I will quite often take the kiddos for dinner at Frisch’s just to enjoy a slice of pie for dessert.

If you have never had Shoney’s or Frisch’s Strawberry Pie, you are really missing out.  The pie crust is basic and topped with fresh strawberries and then a fabulous strawberry gel that makes for a perfect summer time dessert. Plus you will want not want to forget the whipped cream. Totally delish!

Last week, I took the kiddos for dinner and all of them ordered a piece of the yummy strawberry pie topped with whipped cream. My boys were inhaling it like it was the last dessert they were ever going to enjoy, ha ha. Then they were asking for seconds. I quickly responded with “No way, these slices of pie are not cheap”. As I was devouring my slice of pie, I got to thinking about making our own right at home. I knew it couldn’t be to difficult.

I was correct! It was not difficult at all. I used a store bought pie crust to save time and strawberries were on sale for just $0.99 at Aldi this week. Making our own pie at home did not cost much at all.

Summer time desserts filled with berries are always best. I make up batches of Homemade Strawberry Sauce to top our ice cream, angel food cakes, and waffles for breakfasts.

Just a few ingredients are needed to make this super simple pie. You will need a store bought pie crust or you could use my Easy 4 Ingredient Homemade Pie Crust, strawberries, strawberry Jell-O, sugar and some cornstarch. You can have it whipped up and in the fridge in no time at all.

    If I was good, however next time I make it I will leave the sugar out because the gelatin has plenty of sugar for us. It was too sweet.

    Hi Jen,

    I found this recipe on Pinterest while looking for ways to use all of these strawberries from my garden. I just made it and my family loved it! I think I would still like it with a little less sugar so I will try that next time, gotta watch the wasteline! ;) Thanks for the easy recipe!

    I make a pie similar to this and I “paint” the bottom crust with melted chocolate chips, let them harden then add the berries. Adds a little extra something and the crust doesn’t get soggy.

    Too sweet. Needs more berries, cut sugar to 3/4 c and water to 1c. Add a little lemon juice or zest. Use 1/2 of a small box of jello. Gives it good coloring & flavors the sauce. This is the way my Mom made it (using her own killer pie crust) and was always being told that it tasted JUST LIKE Frisches if not better!

    I just cut this gorgeous strawberry pie and it does not disappoint. It was so easy and definitely reminds me of the one served at Shoney’s but I believe it is tastier. As a matter of fact, I am having pie for supper tonight! (I am 60 years old so I certainly can, right?) Thank you for posting this recipe…my children and grandchildren will love it.

    Mine never thickens. I brought it to a boil. I turned it down to simmer, but it never thickens. So, I never take it off the heat to add the jello. What’s wrong?

        I’ve made this pie for many years, and suddenly a few years ago I had the same problem with ot not setting up or getting firm. My aunt and I finally figured out that since companies (such as Jell-O) have reduced the contents of their packaging, it is a little less now (3 oz) than what it uaed to be (3.5 I think) So……..I started measuring out the jello to equal the previous amount. Or when I double the recipe, use the bigger box instead, which is 8 oz.

        Hope this helps everyone. I had the same issue with other recipes, so now I actually pay attention to the measurements a little more than relying on the old “One box” method. ?

        Did you mix the cornstarch and sugar together well and then add the cool water? It sounds like the starch didn’t get mixed in well so couldn’t thicken the whole batch. It should start to boil and then turn from opaque to translucent as it cooks.

    • Lynn says

      April 8, 2017 at 11:53 pm

      Make sure it corn starch is the correct amount. That is the thicker and jello will cause it to set. Maybe a bit less water if it having a problem getting it to set properly

      You have to let the jello mixture cool before pouring it overnight the strawberries. It was a lesson I learned last year after making it twice without it setting up.

    I don’t have a website, but I make a similar pie. I use big box of sugar free Strawberry Jello, the small box of sugar free cook vanilla jello pudding, sliced strawberries, a cup and 1/2 of water. Heat water, jello, pudding til thickens. Stir in 16oz box sliced strawberries. Pour into a purchased graham cracker crust…wa la wonderful.
