Ingredients

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: Make sure the 9-inch pie crust is fully baked and cooled.
Add Strawberries: Evenly arrange the halved strawberries in the pie crust.
Make the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent (about 3–5 minutes).
Add Gelatin: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved. Let the glaze cool slightly (it should still be pourable).
Assemble the Pie: Carefully pour the glaze over the strawberries, using a spoon or spatula to distribute it evenly.
Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is fully set.
Serve: Garnish with whipped cream before serving. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean cuts.

Notes

Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly before pouring to prevent a soggy crust.

For extra flair, drizzle with melted chocolate or top with chopped nuts.
