This Easy Strawberry Pie is a go-to this time of year, it’s wonderful with fresh strawberries.
It’s that time of year when strawberries are so beautiful and delicious, I can’t help but bake with them on a daily basis.
My daughter absolutely LOVES strawberries, she could eat them all day. Then, one day she did eat several and the next day I thought she was covered in mosquito bites.
As it turns out she has an intolerance to strawberries, so what I thought were bites turned out to be hives.
Now, here we are many years later since this has now been updated and she is still allergic to strawberries! I was really hoping she would grow out of that, but meanwhile, the rest of our family still enjoys this pie.
I absolutely hate this for her, I’ve started to hide the strawberries up high in the fridge because she tries to get into them so much.
As soon as she has them though she gets a bad rash almost immediately, although her allergy test was negative for them, it’s clear she’s sensitive.
My baby could not partake in this pie, but for those that can eat strawberries, it’s absolutely delicious!
How do you make Strawberry Pie?
This recipe is from a small town cookbook published in 1971. It’s super easy and perfect for summer. It’s like an icebox pie and it’s a classic.
I’ve even thought now that I should make it with blackberries or blueberries too. We have both strawberries and blackberries growing in our backyard so maybe soon I’ll try it with blackberries.
Are you ready to eat up? I know I’m anxious to make this one again, it’s just a timeless.
Enjoy this wonderful pie and let me know, what is your favorite summer pie?
Enjoy!

This pie looks delicious, I’m sure my daughter will love it. She is almost 10 but when she was little she too would break out in an awfully case of hives on her face anytime she ate anything that was red, it didn’t matter if it was artificial or natural, after talking to the doctor he stayed that it is quite common and to still give it to her, as long as the symptoms didn’t get worse. Now she doesn’t get any redness at all. I hope your daughter is able to over come her sensitivity to strawberries as well. Thanks for the recipe.
I would like you to know that I had the little hives once too.The strawberries simply were not washed properly and I simply reacted to the pesticides
on them.I’ve washed them very good since and never had the hyves again!
Oh I never thought about that either!
I cooked this and the flavor is outstanding but it is runny like soup ..what did I do wrong ? I cooked it for the time listed.
I have never had an issue like that on this one. Did you add anything to it or possibly have a lot of juice in the strawberries?
