# What You’ll Need:
→ Pie Ingredients
01 -
1 frozen pie crust (deep dish preferred)
02 -
1 1/4 cups water
03 -
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
04 -
3 tablespoons cornstarch
05 -
3 tablespoons dry strawberry gelatin (like Jello, approximately half a 3 oz box)
06 -
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced in halves or quarters
07 -
Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Prick the bottom and sides of the frozen pie crust with a fork. Bake according to package instructions. If concerned about puffing, place parchment paper inside the crust and add 1 cup of dried beans or rice as weights. Let the crust cool completely before filling.
02 -
In a small saucepan, whisk together water, sugar, and cornstarch. Heat over medium heat until boiling, then reduce heat and simmer for several minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
03 -
Stir in the dry strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
04 -
Place the sliced strawberries in the cooled pie crust. Pour the cooled strawberry gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries.
05 -
Refrigerate the assembled pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. Serve chilled, garnished with whipped cream if desired.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Prep and cook time estimates do not include pie crust baking time, as different crust manufacturers may require varying baking durations.
