Note

For best results, ensure the pie shell is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.

You can substitute the fresh strawberries with frozen strawberries if needed, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess liquid in the pie.

The whipped topping should be thawed according to package directions before folding it into the mixture to ensure a smooth, airy texture.

This pie is best served chilled. If freezing, thaw in the refrigerator before serving to maintain the texture of the whipped topping.

For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy creamer instead of milk and a dairy-free whipped topping.
