Description
Strawberry Jello Pie is a refreshing, no-bake dessert featuring a strawberry Jello filling with fresh strawberries on top, nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade, if preferred)
2 tablespoons butter, melted (if using a homemade crust)
1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
Extra whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
Sliced fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry Jell-O powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
- Stir in 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Let the Jell-O mixture sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until it begins to thicken slightly.
- Once the Jell-O mixture has cooled slightly, fold in the chopped fresh strawberries, mixing gently so they are evenly distributed.
- Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping to create a creamy, fluffy texture, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the Jell-O mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to fully set.
- Before serving, top the pie with extra whipped topping and garnish with fresh strawberry slices, if desired.
- Slice the pie, serve chilled, and enjoy!
Notes
- If using frozen strawberries, be sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess liquid.
- For a different flavor, you can use other fruit-flavored Jell-O, such as raspberry, blueberry, or peach, and adjust the fruit accordingly.
- If you prefer a creamier pie, you can add a layer of sweetened cream cheese before adding the Jell-O filling.
- This pie is perfect for make-ahead preparations, as it keeps well in the fridge for several days.
