Time 2h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup chopped strawberries
⅓ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl; mix until evenly moistened and press into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • Soak gelatin in cold water for 3 minutes. Heat the water and gelatin in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring frequently, until gelatin is completely dissolved.
  • Beat whipping cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form.
  • Stir strawberries and 1/3 cup sugar together in a bowl. Pour gelatin mixture over strawberries. Gently fold in whipped cream until incorporated. Pour filling into baked pie shell and chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 2 hours.
