This Strawberry Jello Pie is the perfect cool and creamy treat to enjoy.
Grab Cool Whip, Jello and a graham cracker crust and you’re ready to make this quick jello pie. It’s the perfect comfort food after a long day or to serve last-minute guests. I especially love it on a hot summer day. Although I’ll happily eat this delicious strawberry jello pie all year round.
There is something about a cool Jello pie that is so comforting and delicious, and if you’ve never made one it’s shockingly easy to make. This pink Strawberry pie with Jello is the perfect no bake dessert for guests or a special weeknight supper. It boasts a fresh flavor with an easy filling nestled in a graham cracker crust. It’s a simple homemade offering at it’s best, just like my strawberry cheesecake pie or my no bake pumpkin pie and oreo pie.
No Bake Jello Pie:
When fresh strawberries are in season, I love baking with strawberries.
This is a quick recipe that kids can help make and is perfect for when you want something sweet and delicious but don’t want to be spending too much time in the kitchen.
It’s no-bake — so it’s great if you’re already using the oven for something else or if you just want to avoid turning on the oven!
It does take a while to set so ensure that you give yourself a good 5 hours before you want to enjoy this easy pie with your loved ones.
If you’re not a huge fan of strawberry flavoring, you can swap that out for any Jello flavor you’d prefer!
My boys love making it with other flavors so they can also get other colors. 😉 They think blue or green pie is pretty magical. It makes them so happy, I let them get creative and experiment with their own jello pie recipes.
You could also top it with fresh strawberries (or other fruit) for an extra touch and burst of flavor.
Of course, my guys also pile on the Cool Whip on top of the pie before serving as well. I’m pretty sure Cool Whip is one of their favorite foods!
Jello Pie Ingredients You Will Need
- 2/3 cup boiling water
- 1 3-ounce package JELL-O Strawberry Flavor
- 1 cup ice cold water
- 1 16-ounce tub Cool Whip
- 1 ready-to-use graham cracker crumb crust
How to Make a Strawberry Jello Pie
Boil your water as you prepare your other ingredients.
Stir together the boiling water and strawberry Jello for two minutes until completely dissolved.
Add the ice cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir until slightly thickened.
Then whisk in 2 cups Cool Whip until well blended.
Refrigerate the pie filling for 30 minutes.
Smooth out into the prepared pie shell and refrigerate 4 hours or overnight before serving.
How to Serve a Strawberry Jello Pie
I cut generous slices and serve cold, topped with dollops of Cool Whip or whipped cream. A bright, fresh cherry on top is the perfect finish before serving.
You could also top with other fresh fruit, like strawberries.
If you have any pie leftover, just pop back in the fridge or freezer to keep cool until serving more.
My boys love the consistency and flavor. They could easily devour the whole pie in one sitting because they enjoy it so much. And I’ll let them as thanks for a job well done helping mama in the kitchen.
I hope your family enjoys this easy and yummy strawberry Jello pie as much as we do.

A great dessert for summer meals. Light and refreshing!
how long to stir before it slightly thickens? I stirred for 15=20 min and finally put it in the frig for a while.
Hmm, that’s odd – should happen pretty quick. I hope it set up ok for you in the fridge!
This is delicious. I am ashamed to say I eat half this pie the next day. I very seldom eat desserts but this out of this world delicious.
I wonder how it would work in a prebaked pie shell? I just might have to try one each way. Looks super simple &delicious. Thanks!!
I had a ton of leftover filling. Could this be frozen?
I haven’t tried that, but I would assume it could!
was that 1…….3oz pk of jello or a 13oz pk……
It’s one three-ounce package of Jello! I hope you enjoy 🙂
Thanks for posting this lovely recipe. Can’t wait to try it.
My Mother passed away in 2010. I miss her every day. One of the many things she made that I loved was this Jell-O ice box pie. It was always my Birthday request. Occasionally she would say it was such a simple recipe, didn’t I want something more extravagant or “chocolatey”. Nope, thank you, but I like what I like. Thank you for posting this & helping me relive a very pleasant & tasty memory of my Mom.
Aww, thank you for sharing your special memory with us! Old recipes are the BEST!!
Can you put this in freezer if you can how long do you need to take it out for before serving
Yes, you could – I would take it out probably 15+ minutes before serving and then cut with a sharp knife!
Hi it says you need a 16oz container of cool whip but you only use 2c for the recipe. Is the rest used to garnish? A 8oz container has atleast 2c in it.
You can definitely add more Cool Whip on top to your liking!
