Ingredients

9 inch pie crust prepared per package instructions
1 cup cold water
1 cup granulated white sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
3 ounces strawberry Jell-O
1 pint fresh strawberries quartered
whipped cream for topping

Instructions

Bake the pie shell according to the instructions. Set aside to cool.
In a small saucepan, add the cold water, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring it to a slow boil, whisking constantly until slightly thickened and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, stir in the strawberry gelatin until dissolved, and then allow to cool.
Clean and quarter the strawberries and once the pie shell has cooled, line the crust with the cut strawberries.
Pour the Jell-O mixture over the strawberries and refrigerate until set, approximately 2-3 hours.
Once fully set, top with whipped cream and enjoy!

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for best results. Frozen strawberries may be too watery.

Use a frozen pie crust or your favorite homemade crust. Graham cracker or even Oreo crust are great options as well.

Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
