How to make easy strawberry pie

Step 1 – In a medium bowl, bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil.

Remove from heat and whisk in the strawberry jello powder until dissolved.

Stir in 1 cup of ice-cold water and continue stirring for 1-2 minutes as the jello starts to thicken slightly.

Step 2- Transfer the jello mixture to a large bowl and whisk in 12 ounces (3/4 of the container) of cool whip until well combined.

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill. After 30 minutes, give the mixture a quick stir to ensure even distribution of the jello and cool whip.

Return to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.

Step 3 – Once chilled, pour the strawberry pie filling into the prepared Graham cracker crust, being careful not to overfill. Discard any excess filling.

Step 4- Refrigerate the pie for at least 6 hours or overnight to set.

When ready to serve, top each slice with the remaining cool whip using a piping bag fitted with a star tip.

Garnish with fresh strawberries for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and presentation.
• Allow the pie to set in the refrigerator for the recommended time to ensure a firm texture.
• For a sugar-free option, you can use a sugar-free jello mix and a light cool whip.
• If you prefer a homemade Graham cracker crust, you can make your own using a food processor and a few simple ingredients.
• To prevent the pie from sticking, cover it with plastic wrap before refrigerating.
• Top your strawberry jell-o pie with fresh strawberries or any other favorite fresh berries.

Substitutions and Variations

• Instead of strawberry jello mix, you can use any other flavor of jello to create a variety of fruit pies.
• Experiment with different types of fresh fruit or pie fillings to customize the flavor to your liking.
• For a festive touch, top the pie with red and blue berries for a patriotic-themed dessert.
• Serve slices of the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
• ​Add some fresh whipped cream to the top of the pie instead of the extra cool whip if you prefer.
