1 Baked 9\" pie shell
1 pack Lemon-flavored gelatin
1¼ cup Hot water
1 Pt. strawberry ice cream
1½ cup Sliced, washed, hulled strawberries
½ cup Heavy cream, whipped

About 1 hr. before serving or early in day: In 2-qt. saucepan, dissolve gelatin in hot water. Add ice cream by spoonfuls, stirring until melted.
