Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons milk
½ cup milk
3 ½ ounces unflavored gelatin
⅔ cup white sugar
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 cups heavy cream
2 pints fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 sprig fresh mint

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
Mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add oil and milk. Stir until a crumbly mixture forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan, finishing with a plain rim or edge.
Combine milk and gelatin in a saucepan. Stir together over low heat, gradually stirring in sugar, until completely dissolved. Add lemon zest and juice. Remove from heat and cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, whip cream in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until stiff peaks form; fold into the cooled gelatin mixture. Spoon into the pie crust and cover with strawberries.
Bake in the preheated oven until set, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before chilling until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and garnish with mint.
