Strawberry jello and whipped topping on a graham cracker crust. Cool, sweet and perfect for warm weather treats.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Main Components

01 - 1 (3-ounce) box strawberry-flavored gelatin dessert mix
02 - 16 ounces whipped topping, thawed and divided
03 - 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker pie crust

→ Liquids

04 - 2/3 cup boiling water
05 - 1 cup ice-cold water

→ Garnish

06 - Fresh strawberries for decoration

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil. In a medium saucepan, whisk in the strawberry gelatin powder until fully dissolved.
02 - Stir in 1 cup of ice-cold water and continue to mix for 1–2 minutes as the gelatin mixture begins to thicken.
03 - Pour the gelatin mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add 12 ounces of whipped topping and whisk until fully blended and uniform in color.
04 - Refrigerate the blended filling for 30 minutes to allow initial setting.
05 - After chilling, whisk the filling a final time to ensure a smooth consistency throughout.
06 - Pour the prepared filling into the 9-inch graham cracker crust, leaving slight space at the top. Discard any excess filling.
07 - Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for optimal texture.
08 - Just before serving, pipe or spoon the remaining whipped topping on each slice and garnish with fresh strawberries.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Whisk thoroughly at every stage to prevent lumps and achieve a silky, even filling.
02 - Pie can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving.
03 - Customize by swapping the graham cracker crust for a chocolate or shortbread base.
