This strawberry jello pie is a wonderful addition to any table. Wonderfully fresh tasting, it's a perfect summer dessert. Just don't forget that whipped cream!
Combine the cold water, sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer, whisking constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and add the Jell-O, stirring until dissolved. Allow to cool slightly.

Meanwhile, bake the pie crust according to package instructions (you can also use pre-baked or even graham cracker crust). Cool and line the bottom of the crust with the cut strawberries.

Notes
Use fresh rather than frozen strawberries for this recipe. Frozen fruits are either likely to stay frozen, or, release too much liquid into the jello.
Let the pie crust cool fully before adding the strawberries and jello.
Allow 2-4 hours for the pie to fully set before serving.
Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients.
Storage: Store Strawberry Jello Pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
