Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet (3 oz) Jell-O Gelatin (any pastel color like strawberry, lemon, or berry blue)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water or ice cubes
- 8 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or homemade)
- Food coloring (optional) for enhanced vibrancy
- Optional toppings: pastel sprinkles, fresh fruit, whipped cream, edible flowers
Instructions
- Dissolve the Jell-O: In a large bowl, stir the Jell-O powder into 1 cup of boiling water until fully dissolved.
- Cool the Mixture: Add ½ cup cold water or ice cubes to quickly cool the Jell-O, stirring until it thickens slightly.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the Jell-O mixture until smooth and fluffy. If desired, add a drop of food coloring for a more vivid hue.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the Jell-O mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
- Decorate: Before serving, add whipped cream, pastel sprinkles, or fresh fruit for an extra festive touch.
Notes
- Let the Jell-O cool slightly before folding in the whipped topping to maintain a light, airy texture.
- For layered Jell-O pie, repeat the process with different Jell-O flavors, letting each layer set for 30 minutes before adding the next.
- Store the pie covered in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze (without toppings) for up to 1 month.
