Strawberry Jello Pie


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale

For the crust:

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup (75g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

For the filling:

  • 1 (3 oz) box strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped or sliced (optional, for texture)

Instructions

  1. Make crust: Mix graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into a 9″ pie plate. Chill 10 minutes.
  2. Dissolve gelatin: In a bowl, whisk strawberry gelatin with boiling water until completely dissolved (~2 min). Cool 10–15 minutes (until slightly thickened but still pourable).
  3. Fold in whipped topping: Gently stir in thawed whipped topping until smooth and pink.
  4. Add berries (optional): Fold in chopped strawberries or arrange slices on top after pouring.
  5. Fill & chill: Pour mixture into crust. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or until fully set (best overnight).
  6. Serve cold, garnished with extra berries or whipped cream.
💡 Pro Tips:
– For extra berry flavor, replace ¼ cup boiling water with pureed strawberries.
– Use a gluten-free crust by swapping graham crackers for GF cookies.
– Keep chilled—this pie softens quickly at room temperature!
