Easy Vegan Strawberry Pie
Let’s talk pies!
If there is one thing I’m obsessed about, it’s an effortless dessert. Fruit forward is my favorite, so when the warmer temperatures hit I’m searching for fresh fruit as the flavor is best and so is the price point!
Typically pies feature a variety of various fruits, but I feel as though I rarely come across a strawberry pie while dining out. Before exploring pies, the thought of throwing one together felt, overwhelming. However, most pies can be made with just a handful of ingredients and there is no need to get fancy and do a crust on the top. While we had done a strawberry pie with a vegan Jello base, you can absolutely whip up a strawberry pie with just cornstarch.
and just like that, the new Strawberry Pie was born!
For many, making a pie crust from scratch can be a daunting task. I promise though, if you’re set on making one it’s super easy. If like me you’re searching for a seamless dessert, just pick up a vegan pie crust and call it a day!
What’s fab about this recipe, is truly everything! It’s quick, easy, incorporates 5 ingredients, packed with fresh strawberries, features no refined sugar, can even be made sugar free, has aesthetic appeal, it’s timeless, great for entertaining, gorgeous, perf for summer.

My pie ended up being strawberry soup in a pie crust. Followed recipe to the letter, it just would not gel up or firm up at all. I’m going to try this again tho as it’s really tasty.
Hi Opal! I’m so sorry to hear about your pie. This pie remains to be one of my favorites and it really is determined by how much cornstarch you add. You can never add too much perhaps, but for myself I can taste when there is too much cornstarch in a recipe. Please try again and let me know how it turns out!
