Ingredients
1 cup 7-Up, or lemon-lime soda
4 tbsp cornstarch
1 pie shell, (8-inch), blind baked
1½ oz strawberry-flavored gelatin powder, preferably Jell-O
2 cups strawberries, hulled, sliced
8 oz heavy cream, cold
1¼ cups granulated sugar
8 strawberries
Preparation
Combine 7-Up or lemon lime soda, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan.
Cook until thick. Remove from heat.
Add Jell-O mix and stir well.
Arrange strawberries at the bottom of the pie crust.
Pour Jell-O mixture over strawberries and refrigerate until set, preferably overnight.
Once the filling is firm, whip your heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Whip your cream using a chilled bowl to achieve the peaks faster.
Spread the whipped cream on top of the filled strawberry pie. Take your time on this.
Slice according to your preference and garnish with a strawberry per slice. Serve.
