Strawberry Pie(Shoney'S)
A delightful strawberry pie featuring a sweet, tangy glaze over fresh strawberries in a baked crust, perfect for summer gatherings or casual dessert lovers.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Bake the pie crust until golden brown and let it cool.
- In a saucepan, combine 7-Up, red food coloring, cornstarch, and sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a syrup.
- Allow the syrup to cool completely.
- Fill the cooled pie crust with washed and capped strawberries.
- Pour the cooled syrup evenly over the strawberries.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator until set.
- Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a firmer filling, you can add an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. If you don't have 7-Up, lemon-lime soda or club soda can be used as a substitute. To enhance flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the syrup. Make sure to cool the syrup completely before pouring it over the strawberries to prevent them from wilting.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the strawberry pie chilled, topped with whipped cream or Cool Whip for added richness. It pairs beautifully with Party Lemonade for a refreshing summer dessert. Consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast in temperature and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover strawberry pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It's best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, you can freeze it for up to a month. To reheat, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator overnight and serve cold or at room temperature for the best texture.

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 thoroughly to avoid excess moisture in the pie. Fresh strawberries provide the best texture and flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch.
Is there a way to make this pie vegan?
To make a vegan strawberry pie, use a vegan pie crust and substitute sugar with a plant-based sweetener like agave syrup. Ensure that the whipped cream or Cool Whip is also dairy-free, or use coconut whipped cream as an alternative.
How can I make the pie less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness, cut back on the sugar in the syrup mixture. You can also balance the sweetness by adding a bit of lemon juice to the syrup, which enhances the overall flavor while keeping it refreshing.
