  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan.
  • Mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add oil and milk. Stir until a crumbly mixture forms. Press evenly into the prepared pan, finishing with a plain rim or edge.
  • Combine milk and gelatin in a saucepan. Stir together over low heat, gradually stirring in sugar, until completely dissolved. Add lemon zest and juice. Remove from heat and cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whip cream in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until stiff peaks form; fold into the cooled gelatin mixture. Spoon into the pie crust and cover with strawberries.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature, 20 to 30 minutes, before chilling until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and garnish with mint.
