COOL 'N EASY Pie

Recipe Courtesy of JELL-O Best Recipes Celebrating 100 Years (page 54) Ten minutes in the morning – luscious strawberry pie in the evening!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh chopped strawberries
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 pkg. 4-serving size JELL-O Brand Strawberry Flavor Gelatin or any red flavor
  • ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tub 8 ounce Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed
  • 1 ready-to-use graham cracker crumb crust 6 ounces

Instructions

  • Slice 1 cup strawberries; refrigerate for later use. Slice remaining strawberries for garnish; set aside.
  • Stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  • Mix cold water and ice to make 1 cup. Add to gelatin, stirring until slightly thickened. Remove any remaining ice.
  • Stir in whipped topping with wire whisk until smooth.
  • Mix in chopped strawberries.
  • Refrigerate 20 to 30 minutes or until mixture is very thick and will mound. Spoon into crust.
  • Refrigerate 6 hours or overnight.
  • Top with sliced berries just before serving.

Notes

The original recipe said to mix cold water and ice to make “1 ¼ cups”. I changed this amount to equal 1 cup as a result of my pie occasionally not thickening/setting up. So, I’ll leave it to you for the amount of cold water you use to add to the gelatin. I also saw a similar recipe on Allrecipe.com.
