Mom’s No-Bake Fresh Strawberry Pie is one of those desserts that just takes me back to my childhood. I love strawberries, all berries actually but I think strawberries are my favorite!

When I was growing up in Kentucky the season for strawberries was short, so when they started getting ripe we would start picking and putting them in as many recipes as we could think of!

The strawberry season in California is much longer and most places have them year round, but I feel in season is when they are at their best! I also think for this recipe it’s best if you put the whipped cream on each slice as you eat it so it’s nice and cold!

You can make the crust homemade of course but I think the berries are the star of this pie, so let them shine!! Pile them high, I think 3 pints are plenty again pending the size of the berries you may only need two? This pie is easy to make but makes such a statement! Enjoy MY MOM’s Strawberry Pie!!
