I was wondering if I could use Splenda or Splenda sugar blend in place of the sugar.

Question Could I just use a small box of strawberry jello and leave out the 1 cup of sugar? Seems like both would make it too sweet?

Yes, if you are making a 10-inch pie you can use a whole 4-ounce box of Jell-O. It also will not make any difference whether you use regular or sugar-free. Enjoy! :)

I have made this recipe for many years. I found it in a church cookbook. Yes, it is so easy and wonderful during the strawberry season. I mix the sugar and cornstarch with a whisk before adding the water which results in NO lumps. I use sugar free gelatin and a graham cracker crust. Easy.

I made this for father's day..my only problem was that the corn starch lumped a bit when I added it. Did I do something wrong? This was very delicious and so easy! Thank you.

We're so glad you loved the pie! Concerning your question, try using a whisk when you add the cornstarch. A whisk will help it mix together better.Sometimes, the problem could also be due to old cornstarch.

Next time try mixing the cornstarch with the sugar, then add the water and stir well before heating.

Yes, you can wash and trim them before you freeze them. Pat them dry before freezing so that extra moisture doesn't freeze on the berries. Thank you for your question!

Hi janaa! No, this is not the same. A (4) 1/2 cup serving size box of Jello brand gelatin is approximately 1/2 cup. For this recipe you only need 1/4 cup. Thank you for your question!
