Units
Scale
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin (such as Jell-O)
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and water over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes clear, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly.
- Arrange the fresh strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust.
- Pour the gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries, ensuring they are well coated.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is set.
- Serve chilled with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
- Use the freshest strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- You can use a homemade pie crust for a richer flavor.
- Make sure the gelatin mixture cools slightly before pouring it over the strawberries to avoid softening the crust.
