Instructions

Prep the strawberries:
- Slice half of the strawberries and set aside. Leave the other half whole or halved for the pie’s top layer.
Make the glaze:
- In a saucepan, whisk together sugar and cornstarch.
- Stir in the water and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and starts to boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
Assemble the pie:
- Arrange the whole or halved strawberries in the baked pie crust.
- Pour the cooled glaze evenly over the berries, using a spoon to make sure all strawberries are coated.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the glaze is set.

Serve:
- Top with whipped cream just before serving. Slice and enjoy chilled!

Notes

For a thicker glaze, add an extra ½ tbsp of cornstarch.
You can use a graham cracker crust instead for a no-bake version.
