Ingredients
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 Tbs. cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 3 oz. box strawberry gelatin such as Jello brand
- 1 lb. fresh strawberries washed, dried and stemmed
- 1 unbaked frozen pie crust shell, 9-inch
- 2-3 cups whipped topping, optional but recommended
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Let the pie crust shell thaw for 10-15 minutes on the counter; prick the sides and bottom all over with a fork. Bake the pie crust on the bottom oven rack for 10-12 minutes or until nicely golden brown; cool.
- Meanwhile, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan over medium heat; cook the mixture until nicely thickened, whisking often.
- Remove from the heat and whisk in the box of gelatin until it is completely dissolved; allow this mixture to cool slightly.
- Slice the strawberries lengthwise into slices; place them into the cooled and baked pie crust.
- Pour the slightly cooled (it can still be a bit warm) gelatin mixture over the sliced strawberries in the baked and cooled pie crust.
- Refrigerate the pie until the filling is set and the pie is fully chilled throughout, 4-6 hours.
- Slice the pie into 6 pieces and top with whipped topping; serve at once.
