Description
A bright and refreshing Strawberry Jello Pie with a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy whipped layer, and a glossy strawberry gelatin topping that sets to sliceable perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch graham cracker crust, pre-made, or homemade using 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 6 tbsp melted butter, 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 package strawberry gelatin, 6 oz
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups whipped topping
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: If making a homemade crust, preheat the oven to 350°F, bake the crust for 10 minutes, then cool completely. Skip this step if using a pre-made crust.
- Combine Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until slightly thickened. Remove from heat, add strawberry gelatin, and stir until fully dissolved. Let the mixture cool until just slightly warm.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Place the cooled graham cracker crust on a flat surface or pie plate for easy transfer to the refrigerator.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread a thin layer of whipped topping over the crust. Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly on top.
- Cook to Perfection: Gently pour the cooled gelatin mixture over the strawberries, tilting the pie to distribute evenly.
- Finishing Touches: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Top with additional whipped topping if desired, slice with a sharp knife, and serve chilled.
Notes
- Tip: Let the gelatin cool slightly before pouring so the strawberries stay in place.
- Tip: Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Tip: Chill at least 4 hours for clean slices.
- Note: Frozen strawberries are not recommended as they release excess liquid.
