- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 3 tablespoons Gelatin, strawberry-flavored
- 1 piece Pie crust, pre-baked (9-inch)
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and hull the strawberries, then slice them in halves or quarters, depending on their size. Set aside 2 cups of the most attractive strawberries for pie topping.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes thick and translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the strawberry-flavored gelatin until dissolved.
Step 4
Allow the gelatin mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold in the remaining 2 cups of strawberries.
Step 5
Pour the strawberry mixture into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly. Arrange the reserved strawberries decoratively on top to enhance the pie's appearance.
Step 6
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the filling has set completely.
Step 7
Before serving, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream on each slice for an added layer of decadence. Enjoy!
