Instructions
For the Pie
- Prepare and bake the frozen pie shell according to the package directions for a single-crust pie. Make sure to prick the crust with fork tines many times before baking. Let it cool completely.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, whisk together the sugar and cornstarch, blending the cornstarch in completely. Add water and cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until mixture thickens.
- Remove from heat. Add gelatin and whisk until smooth. Let mixture cool to room temperature.
- Arrange strawberries in the baked pie crust. Pour cooled gelatin mixture evenly over strawberries.
- Refrigerate until set, about 3 hours. Just before serving, top pie with whipped topping, if desired. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
