Jello Cool Whip Pie Ingredients

A simple mix of strawberry Jello, Cool Whip, and ice-cold water creates that nostalgic creamy filling that sits perfectly in a graham cracker crust. After a quick chill, it slices like a dream. It’s got the vibe of a chiffon pie, but with zero fuss. And the flavor? Sweet, fruity, and a little tangy—the Cool Whip tones down the Jello just right.

Labeled ingredients for jello pie including a graham cracker crust, strawberry jello, Cool Whip, and a measuring cup of water.

If you’ve got fresh strawberries in the fridge, toss in a handful of diced ones to boost the real fruit factor. It gives a nice pop of texture and makes this feel a bit extra without any extra effort.

You’ll need:

1 cup of iced water
⅔ cup of boiling water
1 (3-ounce) package of strawberry Jello mix
1 (16-ounce) tub of Cool Whip
1 ready-to-use graham cracker crumb crust

Ingredient Substitutions

You could swap out the plain graham cracker pie crust for chocolate graham crackers or even an Oreo crust. You could also make a homemade graham cracker crust if you prefer.

Tips For Success

Let the gelatin cool down before whisking in the Cool Whip so it stays fluffy.
Don’t rush the chill time. Give it at least four hours (or overnight) to fully set so your slices hold up.
Use full-fat Cool Whip for the creamiest texture.
