Summer Strawberry Jello Pie

By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1 baked 9-inch pie shell
• 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 small box strawberry jello {3 oz. size}
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Wash and hull strawberries. Place them upside down in cooked pie shell and set aside.

In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, pour in water, cornstarch and sugar. Stir until mostly dissolved. Microwave 1-2 minutes until mixture bubbles up and thickens. {It should turn translucent.}

Stir in strawberry jello powder and pour over strawberries. Spread over top and refrigerate until set, 2-3 hours.

In a large bowl, whip cream, sugar and vanilla together until stiff peaks form. Spread over top pie and garnish with more fresh strawberries. Serve cold.

Recipe tips: In my opinion everything is better with whipped cream but growing up we ate this pie without it. It's delicious either way :)
