Main Ingredients
- 1 (3 oz.) box strawberry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz. Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
Optional Garnishes
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries, sliced
- Strawberry glaze
Instructions
- Dissolve the Jello: In a large bowl, stir 1 cup of boiling water into the strawberry Jello powder until fully dissolved. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is still liquid but no longer hot.
- Blend in the Cream Cheese: Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually pour in the slightly cooled Jello mixture while mixing on low speed until fully combined and creamy.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix to keep the filling light and airy.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until fully set.
- Garnish & Serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream, sliced fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of strawberry glaze to enhance both flavor and presentation.
