Living in a camper in sunny Oklahoma , it is too hot to cook! At supper
time yesterday it was 101 outside and 84 inside. So this morning early I made
this pie, which requires a little bit of stovetop cooking, and the pie can
chill the rest of the day in the fridge.
A yummy cool light summer dessert. Strawberries are in
season, it is HOT outside, perfect time for strawberry pie. If anyone
remembers, it is kind of like Shoney's restaurant's strawberry pie. Top with
your favorite whipped topping, this pie is a cool summer treat.
cool strawberry pie
1 small box of Jell-O Cook & Serve Vanilla pudding
1 small box of Jell-O Strawberry Jell-O
2 cups water
strawberries, sliced (3-4 cups)
graham cracker pie crust
whipped topping
Mix pudding mix with water in pan - heat up, stirring
constantly, until it hits a full boil. Remove from heat and add Jell-O
strawberry mix. Let cool to room temperature. Add strawberries to pudding
mixture, coat well. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate until set (about an hour).
Makes 6-8 servings. May substitute different fruits and different flavors for
the pudding and Jell-O. Must use Cook & Serve pudding!
Tips (discovered the hard way of course): Of the 2 cups of
water, use a small amount to dissolve the strawberry Jell-O, and the rest to
cook the pudding, otherwise, it might clump up. Option: Cut strawberries into
bite size pieces, except for the top layer if you want to use halves to look
pretty.
