Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made pie crust
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup strawberry jello mix
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust: Follow the package instructions for your pre-made pie crust; a light, golden bake is key. Let it cool completely.
- Make the jello mixture: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat gently, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the jello: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the strawberry jello mix until it dissolves entirely.
- Cool slightly: Allow the jello mixture to cool for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Incorporate the strawberries: Gently fold the sliced strawberries into the cooled jello mixture.
- Pour into the crust: Carefully transfer the jello mixture into your prepared pie crust.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the jello is firm to the touch.
- Serve and enjoy: Cut into slices, serve chilled, and top with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Make-ahead tips: This pie is ideal for preparing a day in advance. Be patient to ensure the jello sets correctly.
