How to make easy strawberry pie
Step 1 - In a medium bowl, bring ⅔ 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 (¾ 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.

- 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.
