Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts or shredded coconut for added texture

Filling

  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O mix
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 cups fresh ripe strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup whipped topping or Cool Whip
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (for extra firmness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Press the graham cracker crumbs firmly and evenly into a 9-inch pie dish using the back of a spoon or measuring cup to compact the crust well. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or shredded coconut with the crumbs before pressing for added crunch. No baking is required for the crust.
  2. Dissolve the Jell-O Mix: In a medium bowl, pour the strawberry Jell-O powder into 1 cup of boiling water. Stir continuously until the powder is completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water to cool the mixture to the right consistency. If extra firmness is desired, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin over the cold water, let it bloom for a few minutes, then gently heat until dissolved before adding to the Jell-O mixture.
  3. Add Fresh Strawberries: Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries into the slightly cooled Jell-O mixture, ensuring even distribution while avoiding bruising the fruit.
  4. Fold in Whipped Topping: Carefully fold the whipped topping or Cool Whip into the Jell-O and strawberry mixture until fully combined and light in texture, creating a creamy filling.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the prepared filling into the graham cracker crust, smooth the top with a spatula, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until firm and easy to slice.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Pat strawberries dry before adding to avoid watery filling.
  • Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
  • Chill thoroughly for clean slices and improved texture.
  • The pie can be made a day ahead to allow flavors to meld.
  • Cover leftovers tightly and refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.
  • This dessert is best served cold and should not be reheated.
