Ingredients
Scale
Pie:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
Gelatin Mixture:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 (3 oz) package strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
For Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and turns slightly translucent, about 4–5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly in the graham cracker crust. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, making sure they are all coated.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
- Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute a homemade crust or a traditional pie crust if preferred.
- For a sweeter twist, mix in a few whole strawberries or layer with a thin layer of cream cheese filling before adding the gelatin.
