Gluten-Free Strawberry Pie (Easy crustless recipe!)

This Gluten Free Strawberry Pie is super easy and the best with fresh strawberries!

Who needs a healthy-ish dessert that’s gluten-free, low in sugar, and takes just a few minutes of prep time to prepare?

Oh, you, too?

I’ve got you covered today!

This crustless strawberry pie is loaded with fresh strawberries. You’ll love the vibrant colors and the burst of flavor.

What exactly IS a crustless pie? Well, it combines the best features of a pie and a cake and mashed it into one lovely dessert that is seriously the easiest thing to make ever.

The beauty of this gluten-free strawberry pie is in its simplicity. You only need a few basic ingredients to come up with this showstopper of a dessert. Plus, the flavor combination of the strawberry filling is just as amazing as any traditional pastry shell. Yep, even without a crust!

This Crustless Cranberry Pie was such a hit when I made it around Thanksgiving time, I knew I had to make a berry version for spring and summer!

The best part about this dessert is how healthy it is compared to most classic desserts. You’re getting a ton of vitamin C, antioxidants, and magnesium, all in a bite of a fresh strawberry pie.

Serve it with a dollop of cream, ice cream, coconut whip, or yogurt. You can also top it off with some crushed walnuts or chocolate chips. Yummy every time.

Drooling already? Let’s look at the ingredients we need for this one.

Ingredients for Gluten-Free Strawberry Pie

All-Purpose Gluten-Free Flour

Although the recipe is crustless, you’ll still need some flour to thicken the mixture. I recommend using almond flour or tapioca starch. White and brown rice flour will work great too. One cup will suffice for the quantity we are baking.

Swerve Sweetener

Swerve is the most sugar-like natural sweetener. It caramelizes perfectly and measures just like sugar. What I love most is that it has no bitter aftertaste. Use a cup of Swerve in your easy strawberry pie recipe.

Strawberries

These beautiful berries are the star of this show! Pick the plump, deep red ones that are firm to the touch. I prefer fresh berries over canned or frozen ones. They’re more flavorful and give a great texture. You can find them at your local farmer’s market. We’ll be using two cups of fresh strawberry pieces in this pie.

Butter

Butter does a few things for your fresh strawberry pie. It enhances the flavor, improves the texture, and disrupts bubble formation in the strawberry mixture. So, your pie will have a light and fluffy texture. Use 1/2 cup melted butter. You can use cold butter if you want a crustier, golden-brown bottom. It’s hard to cream, though.

Eggs

We need two eggs for this recipe. Eggs are binders and help hold the pie together. You’ll also need one for an egg wash. This will give the top of the pie a beautiful strawberry glaze. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature.

Vanilla Extract

Ah, the flavor of vanilla! I love the depth it creates. I always use a teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, and I’ve never been disappointed.

That’s it! You don’t need special skills or tools to bake this wonderful gluten-free strawberry pie.

Let’s get baking, shall we?

How to Make Gluten-Free Strawberry Pie

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray your pie pan with cooking oil.
• Take a large bowl and whisk your flour and sweetener together. Throw in your chopped strawberries and coat them well.
• In another small bowl, mix your wet ingredients, including melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
• Mix everything together and stir well to combine. You’ll get a thick mixture.
• Transfer your mixture into the pie pan/pie plate and smooth it out using a spatula or your hands.
• Let your yummy dessert bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are starting to turn golden brown.

Tips and Tricks

• This recipe can be made with different flours if you don’t need it to be gluten-free. Use unbleached all purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, or a 50/50 mix of AP flour and whole wheat flour.
• If you prefer to not use erythritol, try a monk fruit sweetener or other natural sugar alternative. You can also use organic cane sugar for this recipe using the same ratio.
• If you would like this recipe to be dairy free, replace the butter with coconut oil. Use the same amount as the recipe calls for butter, 1/2 cup.
• A sprinkle of cinnamon or ground ginger will add a nice touch, too!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Other Natural Sweeteners Can I Use?

Don’t have Swerve, no problem! Use coconut sugar or Sucanat. Your other options are monk fruit or allulose.

Can I Use a Gluten-Free Pie Crust in the Recipe?

This doesn’t have a traditional pie filling, so using a traditional crust wouldn’t work well here.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?

Sure! If your craving strikes in non-strawberry season, stick to the frozen ones. Just remember that you’ll need to thaw them and get rid of excess liquid first. You may also be able to lower the sweetener amount. Frozen berries are quite sweet already!

How do I serve this pie?

This Gluten-Free Strawberry pie is best served warm. If you have leftovers, gently reheat before serving. You can use your microwave or the oven to reheat.

Can I Make This Pie Ahead Of Time?

Yes, you can easily make this pie a day before. To keep it fresh, wrap it in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to five days. Reheat before serving.
