Ingredients:
- 1 9 ” frozen pie crust, baked
- 200g sugar (approximately 1 cup)
- 355ml water (approximately 1.5 cups)
- 60g cornstarch (approximately 1/4 cup)

- 85g strawberry jello (1 3 oz pkg)
Directions:
- Bake the pie crust according to package directions. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium heat and slowly whisk in cornstarch until well incorporated, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Stir continuously for about 4-5 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns slightly clear. Remove from heat and whisk in strawberry jello until completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, add sliced strawberries and toss to coat evenly. Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator to set for about 2-3 hours. Optionally, dollop with whipped cream before serving.
