Here are some commonly asked questions along with the answers.

If you have any other questions leave me a comment below and I’ll do my best to answer your questions!

Should this pie be refrigerated?

Any pie that contains eggs or dairy should be refrigerated as soon as they’ve cooled, but this pie doesn’t contain dairy or eggs does it still need to be refrigerated? Yes, because it contains Jell-O pop this needs to be refrigerated.

How do you keep pie crust from getting soggy?

There are several ways to prevent the crust from getting soggy. In this recipe, you’ll “blind bake” the crust and what this means is simply pre-baking the crust.

Puncture the bottom of the crust with a fork in several places. This will keep the crust from bubbling. If the edges of the crust are getting overly dark, cover them with parchment paper or foil until the baking is complete.

Some use “pie weights” or even uncooked beans (white beans or pinto beans, really any type of uncooked bean will work) poured into the bottom of the pie crust to keep it from bubbling up, but really pricking it with a fork will do the trick for this pie.

Can you freeze a strawberry pie?

Though this pie will keep well in the fridge up to five days, you can also freeze it! Wrap it well with tinfoil and pop it in the freezer. Well sealed, it will keep up to two months in the freezer. Unless of course your husband or kids find it first! ?

Personally, I prefer mine fresh. Just beware the juices will be a bit runnier if you freeze it and then thaw to enjoy.
