Ingredients:

  • 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
  • 1 package (85g) strawberry-flavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) water
  • 2 tbsp (16g) cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 lbs (900g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream

Instructions:

  1. Combine the strawberry gelatin, sugar, and 1/2 cup (120ml) of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture is completely dissolved and begins to simmer.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and 1/4 cup (60ml) cold water into a smooth slurry.
  3. Pour the slurry into the boiling mixture and whisk vigorously for 1 minute until the glaze becomes glossy and thickens to a syrup-like consistency, then remove from heat.
  4. Place sliced strawberries into the pre-baked pie crust, piling them high in the center to create a dome.
  5. Pour the hot glaze slowly over the berries, using a spoon to ensure the syrup seeps into every crevice and coats every berry.
  6. Allow the pie to cool on the counter for 30 minutes.
  7. Transfer the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to ensure the gelatin sets.
  8. Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped heavy cream.
