7. Pour the strawberry filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
8. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours, or until the filling sets and becomes firm.
9. Once the pie is chilled and set, you can serve it as is or top it with whipped cream for added indulgence.
10. Slice the strawberry pie and serve it cold. Enjoy!
