- Add biscuit baking mix, sugar, softened butter, eggs, and evaporated milk to the blender.
- Stir slightly to combine ingredients.
- Blend on high for 1 minute.
- Stir in remaining sliced berries, red food coloring, and vanilla extract.

- Bake for about 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Garnish with whipped cream and whole strawberries before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute low-fat evaporated milk and use less sugar to taste. If you don't have biscuit baking mix, a homemade version with flour, baking powder, and salt will work well. Make sure to puree the strawberries until smooth for the best texture. If you want extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled or at room temperature, topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream and the reserved whole strawberries for a beautiful presentation. This pie pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a refreshing fruit salad. It makes a great dessert for summer gatherings or as a sweet ending to a meal featuring American recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual slices in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can enjoy it cold straight from the fridge, as the flavors can develop further.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use frozen strawberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the pie. The flavor will still be delicious, though fresh strawberries yield a better texture and taste.
How can I make this pie gluten-free?
To make the pie gluten-free, substitute the biscuit baking mix with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend that includes xanthan gum. Ensure all other ingredients are also gluten-free, and you’ll have a delicious gluten-free dessert.
Is it possible to make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can bake the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just add the whipped cream and whole strawberries right before serving for the best presentation and freshness.
