This recipe is one of my favorite desserts to make this time of year, when strawberries begin to flourish in the garden, at farmers markets and in the stores.
Easy No Bake Grain-Free Pie Crust
This is my “go to” pie crust when I need something quick and easy. It’s also my “go to” when I need something vegan and gluten-free. You can make this delicious, sugar free pie crust in under 5 minutes. It’s made with just 2 wholesome ingredients: medjool dates and pecans. After you pulse in the food processor, just use your fingers to press it into a pie plate.
Shortcut for slicing strawberries
Honestly, I don’t mind slicing a bunch of strawberries. I find being in the kitchen and slicing fruit or chopping veggies meditative. However, I know that for some of you, time is of the essence. I see you….I hear you….always asking for something quick and easy. Enter the egg slicer. Yup. A simple kitchen tool can make slicing an entire bowl of strawberries a breeze. You’ll be ready to fill this healthy pie in no time.
Strawberry Pie Filling Recipe
When summer hits and the weather is hot and humid, this is a perfect dessert. Not only do you not have to turn on your oven, but you don’t have to turn on the stove either. Nothing in the entire pie has to be cooked! This strawberry pie filling is so easy and delicious we often use it to top our pancakes.
Medjool Dates for the no sugar win!
I try to avoid refined sugar all of the time, and find there are so many other ways to make sweet treats. Medjool dates are a staple in my sugar free pantry. Not only are they delicious, but they’re loaded with vitamins, fiber and antioxidants. I love how naturally sweet they are too. The perfect filling for a pie when you don’t want to add sugar.
Sometimes I eat them as is for a sweet chewy snack. They’re full of fiber which slows the release of their natural sugar. This makes them low on the glycemic index and gives you sustained energy rather than spiking your blood sugar.
I buy medjool dates with the pits still in. They will be more moist and generally fresher. If your dates are dry, soak them in water for 10-30 minutes to soften them before using in the crust and the filling. There are more specific directions in the recipe card.
No Bake Strawberry Pie: SO EASY
Honestly, one of the best things about this recipe is how easy it is to make. Prep the crust in the food processor and press into pie plate. Slice the strawberries. Make the pie filling and pour over the strawberries. Then, if you’re feeling creative, decorate the top of the pie.
Nutritious and Delicious Dessert for Passover or year round!
I first started making this pie about 5 years ago for Passover. It’s perfect for a spring holiday that calls for no-grains. I love that it’s a healthy option that contains no added oil or sugar.
This easy strawberry pie recipe is a good example of what’s possible when nutrition takes center stage, yet taste is not compromised. It will quickly become your summer favorite for pot-lucks, BBQs, Memorial Day, 4th of July, or your random hot summer Wednesday night.
