Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sugar, eggs, and frozen strawberries together.
- Add the strawberry Jell-O to the mixture and set aside to cool.
- Whip the chilled Carnation milk until fluffy.
- Fold the whipped milk into the cooled strawberry mixture.
- Pour the filling into a vanilla wafer crust.
- Repeat to make two pies.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, ensure that the Carnation milk is very cold before whipping. You can substitute fresh strawberries for frozen if preferred, adjusting the sugar to taste. If you're short on time, use a pre-made crust to simplify the process. This recipe is also adaptable; try using raspberry Jell-O for a different flavor profile that pairs beautifully with Berry Sweet Pancakes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Strawberry Chiffon Pie chilled, garnished with fresh strawberry slices or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. It pairs well with a light salad or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert experience. This pie can also be a perfect ending to a summer barbecue.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to three days. To serve, you can enjoy it chilled straight from the fridge, or let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving for a softer texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the pie a day ahead of time. Just keep it stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. The flavors often deepen overnight, making it even more delicious!
What can I use instead of strawberry Jell-O?
If you don't have strawberry Jell-O, you can use any berry-flavored gelatin as a substitute. Raspberry or cherry Jell-O can work well, giving a unique twist to the flavor of the pie.
How do I know when the whipped milk is fluffy enough?
Whip the chilled Carnation milk until soft peaks form. This means that when you lift the whisk, the peaks should curl slightly. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn grainy.
