Ingredients
Scale
Fruit:
- 3 ounces (85 grams) strawberry flavored Jello
Liquid Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup (160 milliliters) boiling water
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) ice cold water
Topping:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) Cool Whip
Instructions
- Heat water to boiling point, preparing for Jello mixture preparation.
- Pour boiling water into a mixing bowl, then add strawberry Jello powder, stirring continuously for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Incorporate ice-cold water into the gelatin mixture, gently stirring until the consistency begins to slightly thicken.
- Fold in Cool Whip thoroughly, blending until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform in texture.
- Transfer the filling to the refrigerator, allowing it to partially set for approximately 30 minutes.
- Carefully spread the chilled filling evenly into the graham cracker crust, ensuring a uniform layer.
- Return the pie to the refrigerator, chilling for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight to achieve complete set and optimal flavor development.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand to help the Jello set faster and create a smoother texture.
- Use fresh or frozen strawberries as a topping to enhance the fruity flavor and add natural sweetness.
- Opt for low-fat Cool Whip or Greek yogurt for a lighter, healthier version of the pie.
- For a gluten-free alternative, replace the graham cracker crust with a nut-based or gluten-free cookie crust.
