My mother-in-law introduced me to this original recipe, incredibly easy desert pie. It’s light. It’s refreshing. My family loves fresh strawberries! And, it is most definitely the easiest pie you will ever make. This strawberry pie is a must try…. calling all my graham cracker crumbs fans! All you need is a few ingredients and a large bowl for this easy dessert.
This is one of those recipes to keep on hand for times when company pops in. Or you have a hankering for something sweet. Or, you have to bring something to a function and you completely forgot (Ahem. Cough. Cough). Strawberry desserts are a party and family favorite. Try this strawberry chiffon pie recipe asap!
And, if you don’t like Strawberry, just play around with the flavors. My MIL usually makes the strawberry version, but sometimes she gets all wild and crazy and makes a pineapple version that is just as good- always topped with whipping cream/ cool whip of course!
Some other combinations that would be amazing are other than fresh strawberries/ strawberry mixture:
- Island Pineapple Jello/Pina Colada yogurt/a small can of drained crushed fresh fruit pineapple
- Orange Jello (dry gelatin mix) /Creamsicle Yogurt/Mandarin oranges
- Cherry Jello gelatin mixture /Cherry Yogurt/Chopped fresh cherries
- Raspberry Jello/Raspberry Yogurt/Fresh raspberries
- Lemon Jello/Lemon Yogurt/ lemon juice and lime zest
- Peach Jello/Peach Yogurt/Chopped fresh peach fruit mixture
Or, you could mix up the pie crust by using an Oreo crumb crust or a golden brown shortbread crust!

This recipe is just so versatile! You can make whatever your family loves! Mine loves fresh, whole strawberries!
I love the idea of adding fruit to the pie too, especially during strawberry season. It gives a nice texture. But, if you’re in a pinch, you can leave it out in room temperature and this easy desert will still taste divine.

How much diced strawberries do you fold in the mixture?
A pie that I can’t burn is a win in my book! This looks delicious! Visiting from the feature at the Creative Ways link party!
This is a gorgeous pie! I can’t believe how easy it is to make too. I am featuring you at Simple Supper Tuesday this week. We would love for you to join us again, starting Monday night at 8pm EST.
love the versatility of the recipe will have to try strawberry and pineapple pinned thanks for sharing
we have 3 kids (8,4 girls and a 2yr old boy) our 4yr old would turn into a strawberry if we left her lol… she sites with me as i do the “hops” lol and she couldn’t wait till we saw your post so I could write down the recipe so we can try it.
We will have to do something different for the one she wants to make for her nana who is allergic to strawberries.
I am wondering if doing a raspberry jello with cheesecake yogurt and then added some fresh blackberries from our bushes (once they come this summer) would make a good combo… and if my husband doesn’t see me make any various of this no bake dessert he will eat it, he doesn’t like yogurt but i have made many things with it in it (even though he said he would be able to tell, men lol) he never knew and liked them lol.
thanks for sharing

That sounds fantastic!! I’m sure it would be great!
My family would go crazy for this! I would love for you to share this over at my new link party Making Memories Mondays going on now!

I am no fan of baking but I’m a dessert person. So this is just perfect. 🙂
Happy Easter!
I love no bake desserts in the spring and summer top because it sometimes it gets too hot and tiresome to be in the kitchen all day baking! Thanks for the recipes because I will be using them to beat the heat!
The picture alone make me click! I wanted this for breakfast just looking! Thank you!
I’m wondering if you can substitute for sugar free jello, light yogurt and light cool whip I had gastric bypass and too much sugar is a no no
My son and I made it with fat free Cool Whip and low fat yogurt for Mother’s Day. It turned out great!
I was wondering the same thing as I am a diabetic. Did you ever get an answer, or did you just try it? I bought the larger graham cracker shell, and trying to determine if I would need to increase the ingredients with using sugar free.
Unfortunately I have never made it that way as no one in my family is diabetic, however, if yu do try it let us know how it goes. I will try and make a version this way in the future as well.
does sound super easy, but super good!
My aunt makes something like this all time – with no Jello! She uses a container of frozen strawberries instead! I mixed the berries and yogurt in a blender, fold in the cool whip, put in the shell and freeze.
Great suggestion, Claire! This sounds like a great alternative to using jello! I’ll have to give it a try!
Thanks for reading!
I would love to try this but with an allergy to beef products, what do you suggest I substitute for the jello ?
I can find something instead of yogurt with no problem .
These pies sound so tasty and refreshing and light.
That’s a great question, Flavia! I honestly don’t know the answer though. I will post your question on my Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/ItsAKeeper, and see if anyone can help. I’ll be sure to post the results here.
Thanks for reading!
Sounds great. I’ll be giving this one a try before long!
Thanks!
You won’t be sorry!!! So far, we’ve had strawberry, pineapple and orange. My fave is the orange! 🙂 It’s even better when you add fresh fruit, too!
Enjoy!
