This Luscious, Creamy, No- Bake Fresh Strawberry Cream Pie is Keto, Gluten Free, Grain Free, low carb and even nut free too!
Fresh Strawberry Cream Pie
No Bake ecipes are the joy of the spring and summer season for me. Fresh strawberries are in season and I love to use them when they are nice and ripe. You could certainly use another low carb berry of choice like raspberry, but my family loves strawberry. If you're into Blueberry I've got this awesome No Bake Blueberry Cream Pie!
Life a little easier when no oven time is needed and you just want to put together a pretty dessert for company or to take to a party.
Nut Free Low Carb Strawberry Pie
This pie is everything you want in a dessert. It's mouthwatering layers of crunchy crust, smooth sweet mousse, perfectly ripe strawberries and sweet sugar free vanilla whipped cream, make it one of those recipes your family will ask you to make over and over again. I make many of my recipes nut free using coconut flour or sesame and even sunflower since my youngest is allergic to tree nuts. You can definitely replace the sunflower seeds in the crust with a nut if you prefer.
The strawberries on top are not included in the nutritional info below as I went a little heavy on them for the pics and this would increase your carb content. Just a few will do for decoration when serving.
As long as you have a few kitchen appliances like a food processor or chopper of some sort and a KitchenAid mixer or handheld mixer, this recipe comes together quickly.
Did you know you can even make desserts in your slow cooker? I love doing that in the summer and have this yummy Blueberry Custard Cake you might love!
Low Carb Keto Strawberry Cream Pie
I love to WOW my friends and family when I make a pie like this and everyone is shocked when they taste it because they just can't believe it's made without sugar, low in carbs, and nut free too!
Love that, don't you?!

Is the crust cooked? It sounds strange if you substitute almond flour for it to be raw. Thanks.
Brenda
I guess you could certainly cook the crust if you're subbing almond flour but you could keep it no bake by just subbing in some raw almonds instead of using flour. You'll have a great nutty crust.
Bethann
Even though this reply is late, maybe it will help someone else. I didn’t have sunflower seeds so I used sliced almonds that I had on hand. I processed them first then added the rest of the ingredients. (Actually, I’m making this with Brenda’s no-bake chaocolate coconut crust. I just love chocolate and strawberries together. It’s setting up now!)
Sam
Sweetness is from stevia would dry sweetener like Splenda and how much dry measures to the wet?
KathyAnn
I can not find the actual recipe or the carb count. I made it today by watching the video and writing it down, but I missed the gelatin and the 1/2 of cream altogether. Hopefully, it still tastes okay without it. It looks good!
Brenda
The link to the recipe is directly under the video. It takes you where the recipe is posted with all the ingredients and nutrition information.

Anne Foster
Hello, I'm new to your website, I was wondering if the no bake cheesecake can be made in muffin cups and can they be frozen. Thanks.
Brenda
Sounds like a great idea. I've not frozen this but I think it would be ok.
Connie
I'm always talking about people who are always switching ingredients around and not going by recipe, but here I go. Could I use almond flour in place of sunflower seeds and if so, how much? Then could I use strawberry jello instead of the unflavored? I don't have any of the unflavored and have never used it. Do you think the strawberry jello would make it too overpowering? I appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you!
Brenda
I think almond flour would be fine to sub the sunflower seeds with and same amount. I don't know that strawberry jello would be the same, I'm using the unflavored gelatin to make the mousse more set, not sure how jello would work to do that. Sorry!
Connie
Thank you for your reply. I will just have to think a little more on the jello question. May just have to take a chance and try the unflavored stuff. Thanks again.

Use unflavored gelatin or strawberry? It looks like unflavored. Dissolve in how much water? Just til dissolved or 1C? Thanks for posting. Going to make this today!
Brenda
It was unflavored gelatin and I dissolved it in 2 tbsp of water.
Carol Dees
Is the unflavored gelatin Knox, in the orange box? I've never used it! Always been afraid to give it a try. But this looks so delicious! Thanks for the update on the video. I was thinking you added 1/2 cup butter. Thank you! I just discovered SweetLeaf...I love it!
Brenda
yes the orange box is all you need, unflavored, then open packet and measure some out. Thanks!

I can see why this creamy, dreamy pie is such a hit! No bake pies are a rite of summer. Love them! Extra strawberries for my slice, please.

Can any nuts be substituted?
Brenda
I believe you could sub any nut you like for the sunflower seeds.

We love strawberries and no bake desserts are the best for the summer! Love this pie!
Leigh Anne
Do you have a sub for the coconut in the crust, or would it turn out ok if omitted? I have a coconut allergy unfortunately .
Brenda
You could replace it with almond flour or more sunflower seeds and add some pumpkin seeds.
Brad
FULL RECIPE PLEASE!!!! GELATIN? ?

The video says 1/4 cup butter, but you add a whole stick, which is 1/2 cup. How much butter should we use?
Brenda
I actually made a mistake in the video and it should have been just 1/4 cup so the recipe is correct, sorry about that. Although the crust comes out great with either amount really.
AZ@...And a Dash of Cinnamon
This is such a pretty dessert!
Brenda
Thanks!
Ashley @ Wishes & Dishes
I can definitely see why people would ask for this over and over again! Oh, and I love the video!
