Description

A refreshing and easy-to-make Strawberry Jello Pie featuring a sweet graham cracker crust filled with a creamy strawberry Jello and Cool Whip mixture, chilled to perfection and garnished with fresh strawberries and extra whipped topping.


Ingredients

Filling

  • 3 ounce package strawberry Jello powder
  • ⅔ cup boiling water
  • 1 cup ice water
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed (plus extra for garnish)

Crust and Garnish

  • 9 inch graham cracker pie crust
  • Strawberries, fresh (for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Dissolve Jello: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the strawberry Jello powder and boiling water until the powder is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth liquid mixture without lumps.
  2. Add Cold Water: Stir in the ice water to the dissolved Jello mixture, which helps to cool down the mixture and set the jello properly.
  3. Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip into the Jello mixture until fully combined, creating a light and creamy filling.
  4. Chill Filling: Place the Jello filling in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to start thickening and set slightly before adding to the crust.
  5. Assemble Pie: Spread the chilled Jello filling evenly into the 9-inch graham cracker pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Refrigerate Overnight: Put the complete pie in the refrigerator and chill overnight (approximately 8 hours) to fully set the filling and develop flavors.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Decorate the top of the pie with additional Cool Whip and fresh strawberries just before serving for an attractive and tasty finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before folding it into the Jello mixture for best texture.
  • The pie needs to chill overnight to properly set; do not skip this step.
  • Fresh strawberries as garnish add a pleasant freshness and enhance presentation.
  • You can use a store-bought or homemade graham cracker crust depending on preference.
  • This pie is best served chilled and eaten within 2 days for optimal freshness.
