Description
A delightful mini version of the classic strawberry pie, featuring a fresh and vibrant strawberry filling in a graham-cracker crust. These no-bake, single-serve pies are perfect for summer gatherings or a personal sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 6 mini graham-cracker crusts (1 package, about 0.17 oz each)
- 2½ cups fresh strawberries, stemmed and chopped (~1 lb)
- ¼–⅓ cup granulated sugar (adjust to berry sweetness)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2–3 drops red food coloring (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional garnish)
- Mint leaves (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Place 1 cup of chopped strawberries in a blender. Add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and food coloring (if using). Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a saucepan. Heat over medium until it boils and thickens, about 1–2 minutes. Let cool for 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in the remaining 1½ cups of chopped strawberries until well combined.
- Divide the mixture evenly into the 6 mini graham-cracker crusts and smooth the tops.
- Chill the pies in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until set.
- Top each pie with whipped cream and a mint leaf before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- The red food coloring is optional; natural strawberry color is sufficient.
- Can be made into a full-size 9″ pie with a graham-cracker or pastry crust.
- Best served chilled and do not require reheating.
- Freezer-friendly for up to 6 months; thaw in the fridge before serving.
