Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 5 cups Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 3 ounces Strawberry gelatin
• 1 cup Whipped cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then set it aside to cool completely.

Step 5

Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly over the cooled crust.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, whisk together 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Gradually add the water and lemon juice, whisking until smooth.

Step 7

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to boil. Let it boil for 1 minute while continuing to stir.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved.

Step 9

Allow the gelatin mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, but not completely solidify.

Step 10

Pour the cooled gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries in the crust, ensuring all berries are coated.

Step 11

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the filling is firm.

Step 12

Before serving, top with whipped cream if desired. Slice and enjoy!
