Ingredients
•
1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
•
1/4 cup cold water
•
1 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2
Combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly moistened; press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 12 minutes. Cool.
4
Soak gelatin in cold water for 3 minutes; transfer to the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Cook and stir until gelatin is completely dissolved. Set aside.
5
Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Set aside.

Stir strawberries and ⅓ cup sugar together in a bowl until evenly coated; pour gelatin mixture over strawberries. Gently fold in whipped cream until incorporated; pour filling into baked pie shell. Chill in the refrigerator until set, at least 2 hours.
