Ingredients

For the Pie Crust:

• 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the Strawberry Filling:

• 4 cups fresh strawberries, washed and halved

  ADVERTISEMENT

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

• 1 cup water

• 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin (Jell-O)

Optional Add-Ins:

• Whipped cream for topping

• A few whole strawberries for garnish

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Crust

If using store-bought crust, bake according to package instructions and allow it to cool completely.
If homemade, blind-bake until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside.

2. Make the Strawberry Glaze

In a medium saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
Add water and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes clear.
Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until completely dissolved.
Let the glaze cool slightly — it should still be pourable but not hot.

3. Prepare the Strawberries

Arrange the fresh strawberry halves inside the cooled pie crust.
Pack them tightly for a full, beautiful pie.

4. Add the Glaze

Pour the warm glaze evenly over the strawberries, allowing it to fill all the gaps.
Tilt the pie slightly if needed to spread it evenly.

5. Chill the Pie

Refrigerate the pie for 3–4 hours, or until the glaze is fully set and the pie is firm.

6. Serve

Slice and serve chilled.
Add whipped cream or extra berries on top for a finishing touch.

Serving Tip

Serve with a dollop of fresh whipped cream to enhance the sweetness and create the perfect balance of flavors.
