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.
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.

Josh says
April 13, 2019 at 6:55 pmLove this recipe, I have been doing it with blue raspberry jello and oreo crust, but I still follow this so they come out good. I have some peach jello that I’m going to try with a graham cracker crust.
Thanks for posting this.
Mary says
June 23, 2019 at 7:18 pmHey Josh I said the same thing I am going to make a peach one and use the juice off the peaches instead of water. Cut the water back and put the peaches in with the jello mix. I love this recipe one of my favorites.
Tonya says
April 17, 2019 at 2:58 pmCan this be frozen and then served, or can you thaw out in fridge? I need to make ahead. Ty
Layne Henderson says
April 17, 2019 at 3:43 pmI kept it in the fridge the whole time. I would imagine it could be frozen and thawed without a problem!
Keirstin says
May 19, 2019 at 10:44 amCan this be made using sugar free jello and sugar free cool whip?
Layne Henderson says
May 19, 2019 at 1:54 pmI would assume so although I haven’t tried that personally! 🙂
Peggy says
June 15, 2019 at 6:29 pmI make it with sugar free Jello and it turns out great every time.
Chari says
July 3, 2019 at 8:35 amI use sugar free everything, works great!
Chari says
July 3, 2019 at 8:41 amI use sugar free everything, works great! It’s great with orange and mandarin slices, crushed some gluten free gingersnaps ( daughter and I are both Celiac) and just sprinkled in the bottom of a little mason jar then added filling and fruit, less calories but still that pie taste, good basic recipe to use and individualize to your taste
Lori says
May 23, 2019 at 12:26 pmCould this be made with real whipped cream? I hate the fake taste of cool whip.
Layne Henderson says
May 23, 2019 at 12:58 pmI’m sure you could, I just haven’t done it that way and I’m not sure if it would change consistency at all. Good luck!
mary says
May 24, 2019 at 7:03 pmi made this just with can pet milk ,,,, get milk real cold and whip it ,,,, this is the only kind of pie my stepfather would eat ,, God rest his soul .
Gina says
May 25, 2019 at 8:38 pmIts says to get a 16 oz. Container of cool whip, but we are only using 2 cups of it for the pie correct?
Layne Henderson says
May 26, 2019 at 12:26 pmCorrect, you won’t use it all unless you really love Cool Whip and want extra 🙂
Andrea Dandy says
May 27, 2019 at 12:22 pmI must of did something wrong because mine mixture isn’t creamy to scoop😒. Mine was thin 🤷🏾
Layne Henderson says
May 27, 2019 at 12:34 pmOh no!
Cece says
June 9, 2019 at 10:35 pmWhy not purchase an 8oz container then? I was contemplating the same issue and just ended using the whole 16oz tub.
Layne Henderson says
June 10, 2019 at 7:07 amWe like a lot of Cool whip in our family 🙂
Wanda says
May 28, 2019 at 7:09 pmI was just wondering if you could cut up fresh strawberries and put them in the feeling. I was thinking of cutting them very small. Thanks for your reply
Layne Henderson says
May 29, 2019 at 10:14 amI’m sure you could – it might change the consistency a little but I would imagine it would still taste yummy!
Allyson says
June 3, 2019 at 5:52 pmI missed the step of refrigerating mixture for 30 minutes before adding to pie shell. It didn’t set right.
Crystal says

carol daley says
June 20, 2019 at 2:54 pmhow long to stir before it slightly thickens? I stirred for 15=20 min and finally put it in the frig for a while.
Layne Henderson says
June 20, 2019 at 4:27 pmHmm, that’s odd – should happen pretty quick. I hope it set up ok for you in the fridge!
Mary says
June 23, 2019 at 7:23 pmThis 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.
Toni Zamora says
June 24, 2019 at 9:45 pmI wonder how it would work in a prebaked pie shell? I just might have to try one each way. Looks super simple &delicious. Thanks!!
Liz says
July 11, 2019 at 9:06 pmI had a ton of leftover filling. Could this be frozen?
Layne Henderson says
July 12, 2019 at 3:09 pmI haven’t tried that, but I would assume it could!
Lynda Huolt says
