Ingredients
  

Strawberry Pie Filling

  • 2.5 lbs fresh strawberries
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 6 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 lemon - zest and juice
  • 1 package strawberry jell-o; 0.6 oz

Greek Yogurt Whipped Cream

  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Prepare a pie crust according to the recipe linked above - blind bake it for 15 minutes at 350F and let it cool. Or, use a pre-made pie crust from the store and bake it in the oven at 350F for 15 minutes, with pie weights in it, to blind bake it. 
  • Hull (aka clean and slice) the strawberries and set aside. 
  • Boil water in a medium saupan and add in the sugar and corn starch. Whisk continuously until thick and clear - about 5 minutes. Then add in the jello powder and whisk to combine. turn off the heat. mix with strawberries in a large bowl and let the whole thing cool down. 
  • In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, whip together the powdered sugar + heavy cream. When soft peaks form, fold in the greek yogurt. 
  • Pour the strawberry-jello mixture into the prepared pie crust, and then pipe or spoon the whipped cream-greek yogurt mixture on top. 
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Blind baking = fill your pie crust in its dish with a piece of parchment paper, then fill with pie weights or dry rice, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes so the pie crust cooks a bit and gets firmer before pouring in your pie filling.
