Ingredients

• 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.75 cup water
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 packet strawberry gelatin (3 oz package)
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated and mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.

Step 4

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step 5

While the crust cools, wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Set aside 3 cups of halved strawberries for the filling, and reserve the remaining 3 cups for layering in the pie.

Step 6

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk in 0.75 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and just begins to boil.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.

Step 8

Arrange the reserved 3 cups of halved strawberries in the cooled graham cracker crust.

Step 9

Gently fold the remaining 3 cups of strawberries into the cooled gelatin mixture, ensuring all the berries are coated. Pour this filling evenly over the strawberries in the crust, spreading it gently to fill any gaps.

Step 10

Refrigerate the pie for at least 3 hours, or until the filling is fully set.

Step 11

Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Outrageous Strawberry Pie!
