Instructions

In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes clear.
Remove from heat and stir in strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Arrange fresh strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust.
Pour the cooled gelatin mixture evenly over the strawberries.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until set.
Top with whipped cream before serving, if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, firm strawberries for best results and presentation.
You can make the pie crust from scratch or use a store-bought one for convenience.
For a fun twist, add a layer of cream cheese or vanilla pudding at the base of the crust before adding strawberries.
