Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin (Jell-O)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (for topping)
Instructions
- Make the Creamy Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Prepare the Strawberry Gelatin: In a separate small bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and mix well. Let the gelatin mixture cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly to cover the entire crust.
- Add the Gelatin and Strawberries: Once the gelatin has cooled, gently spoon the sliced strawberries into the gelatin mixture, then pour the gelatin over the pie, spreading it evenly on top of the cream cheese filling.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is set and the pie is firm.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the pie is set, top with chopped fresh strawberries for garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a few tablespoons of strawberry jam to the Cool Whip mixture before spreading it in the crust.
- You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a pre-made pie crust, if preferred.
- For a firmer topping, you can refrigerate the pie overnight to allow the gelatin to fully set.
- If fresh strawberries are not available, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained well.
