- 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1 (3 oz) box strawberry gelatin (like Jell-O)
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch. Add water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved. Let cool for 10–15 minutes.
- Arrange the fresh strawberries evenly in the pre-baked pie crust.
- Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries, making sure they are well-coated.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use ripe, firm strawberries for best results.
- To prevent a soggy crust, brush the baked pie crust with melted white chocolate before adding the filling.
- Can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
- Try using a graham cracker crust for a no-bake alternative.
