1 - 3oz. box strawberry Jell-O
2 cups water
2 tsp. white sugar
fresh strawberries (washed and sliced)
1 pre-baked crust (regular OR graham cracker)

After slicing the strawberries, place them on paper towels to soak up any excess liquid (or they will make the pie crust soggy). Arrange sliced strawberries all over the bottom and up the sides of the pre-baked pie crust. In a saucepan add water, white sugar, strawberry Jell-O powder and vanilla pudding powder--cook/stir over medium heat until everything is dissolved and mixture just starts to boil. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture all over the strawberries. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until very cold. Top with whipped cream before serving.
