1. Thank you so much Jen! I can’t resist baking it every year to make the most of those juicy red berries :)

    1. Please come over and pry my fork out of my hand. I’m covered in berry juice and whipped cream and could use your assistance!

    1. It is soooooooo deadly, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Be careful not to stand near the dish wish a fork if you care to exercise any measure of self control :)

  • This pie looks super amazing! I just bought a huge container of strawberries and I think I just found a great use for them! I’m really excited about the pecan shortbread crust! Great recipe!

    1. Yay for too many strawberries! I can’t think of anything I’d rather do with mine. Hope you love the pie!

  • What a pie! Strawberries, strawberries, strawberries!!! Then toss in the pecan shortbread crust….how divine!

    1. Couldn’t agree more Steph! I’ve eaten my body weight in berries this week and have no intention of stopping anytime soon.

  • I just made a fresh strawberry pie (also sans gelatin, what whaaaat) and made a crust very similar to this – I can’t get enough of that pecan cookie-ish situation. Like, seriously. Marry me now, pecan crust.

    1. MMMM MMMM girl, I want a slice! And really, that crust and I are in a serious relationship. So serious, there is absolutely none of it left…

  • This looks delicious! It reminds me of a “strawberry salad” dish that my husband loves, which has pretzels on the bottom, a cream cheese layer, and strawberries & jello on top. I actually think this looks even better, and I will definitely be making it for him. Thanks!

    1. Trisha, I’ve tried that same “strawberry salad” before, and I LOVED it. The salty-sweet gets me everytime. I might just have to hunt down a recipe myself. Thanks for the reminder and for your kind comment!

    1. I wish you could too Begem! Wishing you a happy, fresh-fruit, fro-yo, and CA sunshine filled summer as well!

  • Oh good lordy, look at that HUGE pile of strawberries on top of your slices! I think I would just die with a plate of this in front of me. Amazing recipe using my favorite berries! Thanks for sharing, Erin!

    1. Thank YOU Georgia. And the more berries, the merrier! Strawberry is a good favorite to have, though I might have to fight you for the last slice. Share it? ;-)

  • I love strawberry ANYTHING so this recipe is right up my alley. I love that you made a shortbread crust, extra delicious.

    1. Thanks so much Natalie! And I’m obsessed with this crust. Crazy delicious AND no rolling. Winner!

  • Great syling, great writing, and beautiful looking pie. All that adds up to a great post!! Of course the fact that it has summer written all over it only puts it over the top, thanks for sharing!

    1. Thank you so much Dan!! That really means a lot. I hope you enjoy every bite of summer that comes your way :)

  • I just made your pie last night and we had it after dinner today….absolutely delicious! My husband was a big fan (also a lawyer :)) and is on his way to the fridge for another piece! The only thing that didn’t work too well was the crust. I think I messed something up and it came out really thick. I ended up using a store-bought crust, but the rest of your recipe turned out amazing. Thanks so much, can’t wait to make it again!5 stars

    1. Hi Poonam! I am so excited that you liked the pie!! As far as having bunches of crust, the recipe does make an amount suitable for a fairly deep pie dish. If you were using a smaller one, I could see it winding up fairly thick. We are crust lovers (especially since this one tastes like a giant pecan shortbread cookie, lol) but you can definely only put the amount of crust “batter” into the dish that you prefer. Thank you so much for sharing your review, and I’m glad you all loved it (and reading through this now makes me want to bake it again myself.) Have a great day!

  • This looks wonderful – thank you! The print button doesn’t work for me, sadly, but I was able to copy it to a Word document instead, so I hope that was all right..

    1. Oh no Jane! I’m so sorry the ‘print’ button didn’t work for you, and it’s absolutely ok that you copied it into word. I’m so excited you are trying this pie–it’s to die for!
