Easy Almond Strawberry Pie (In An Easy Homemade Buttery Shortbread Crust)

Combine Jello and pudding mixes in a medium saucepan. Stir in water, cook and stir over high heat until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature. While it’s cooling, you can make the crust (see below). Once pudding mixture is cooled, add almond extract and stir in sliced strawberries and pour into the crust. Chill until set, about 2–3 hours. Top the pie with whipped cream.

Bake for 20-25 minutes. Cool to room temperature before filling with strawberry mixture.
