Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
- Heat oven to 475°F. With floured rolling pin, roll pastry into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired. Prick bottom and side of pastry thoroughly with fork. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown; cool on cooling rack.
- In large bowl, pour boiling water over gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Stir in lime peel and lime juice. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until very thick but not set.
- Beat gelatin mixture with electric mixer on high speed about 4 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until thick and fluffy; set aside. In chilled large bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff. Gently stir whipped cream and crushed strawberries into gelatin mixture. Pour into crust. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until set. Garnish with whipped cream and strawberry halves. Store in refrigerator.

FLUFFY STRAWBERRY PIE
A light and luscious ending to a meal. Adopted from the Recipezaar account Feb 2005. This pie works well using all light products, such as sugar free strawberry Jello, fat free, sugar free vanilla Jello pudding, ultra low fat cool whip and skim milk. I used a graham crust when I tried it, but a standard pastry crust or shortbread crust would be good too. The packet size in the recipe is the standard 4 serving size package.

FLUFFY STRAWBERRY PIE
My grandmother made this pie every year for Thanksgiving. She would make it with a homemade pie crust, but I love it with a graham cracker crust. Either way is great! It's good with any type of pie crust. It's perfect for a very sweet and light dessert. It just melts in your mouth! Enjoy! It does not freeze well.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. This will ensure that your pie has the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using them in your pie.
- To make sure your pie crust is flaky, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter will add flavor, while the shortening will help to create a flaky texture.
- Don't overmix your pie dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough and difficult to work with.
- Be sure to chill your pie dough before baking it. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- To prevent the strawberry filling from bubbling over, sprinkle a little bit of flour on the bottom of the pie crust before adding the filling.
- Bake your pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let your pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
With its flaky crust, sweet and juicy strawberry filling, and creamy whipped cream topping, this fluffy strawberry pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for a special event or just enjoying it as a family treat, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give this fluffy strawberry pie a try.
