Note
Ensure the gelatin mixture cools to room temperature before adding the berries to prevent them from becoming mushy.
For a vegan version, ensure the gelatin powder is agar-agar based or use a vegan fruit jelly powder instead of standard gelatin, and use a plant-based whipped topping.
Store the pie in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within 2-3 days.
