Calories: 202kcal
Ingredients
- 6 ounce premade graham cracker pie crust
- 3 ounce strawberry flavored instant gelatin
- 0.25 ounce pouch unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- ¼ cup crushed ice
- 8 ounce container cool whip thawed
- 1¾ cup washed, hulled, dried and chopped strawberries (+ 4 halved whole strawberries for an optional garnish)
- Canned whipped topping (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Using a medium size heat safe mixing bowl, add the strawberry jello powder. Pour the ½ cup of boiling water over the jello and stir until completely dissolved.
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Allow the gelatin to dissolve and “bloom”.
- Pour the bloomed gelatin into the dissolved strawberry jello mixture and whisk to completely combine.
- Stir in the crushed ice, and stir until the ice is completely melted.
- Sprinkle ¾ cup of the chopped strawberries into the bottom of the premade graham cracker crust.
- Fold in the thawed cool whip and remaining 1 cup of chopped strawberries with the jello mixture.
- Evenly spread the cool whip and jello mixture into the premade crust. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours. Slice the pie into 8 slices. Before serving, garnish each slice with canned whipped topping and a halved strawberry.
Notes
Storage:
- To Store: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this dessert. The gelatin doesn’t freeze well and the texture and consistency will change once thawed.
- It is very important to thoroughly pat dry the hulled chopped strawberries before folding them into the pie.
- You can also add fresh blueberries, raspberries and blackberries to your pie.
- It does take a while for this pie to set so make sure to give yourself 4 hours before you want to enjoy it.
