4. Soften gelatin in water in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until gelatin dissolves; cool slightly, then stir into strawberry mixture. Place bowl in a pan of ice and water to speed setting; chill, stirring several times, until mixture begins to thicken.
5. While gelatin mixture chills, beat egg whites in a medium-size bowl until foamy white; slowly beat in remaining 1/2 cup sugar, until meringue stands in firm peaks. In a medium-size bowl, beat 1 cup of the cream until stiff. Fold meringue, then whipped cream into strawberry mixture until no streaks of white remain. Pour into cooled pastry shell. Chill several hours, or until firm.
6. Just before serving, beat remaining cream in a small bowl until stiff; spoon on center of pie. Garnish with remaining strawberries.
