Never Think About What to Make for Dinner for the Next Two Months with My Lazy Cooking Bundle
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!

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.

Can you use real whip cream? My family likes whip cream better. This looks so yummy. Going to make a couple for Super Bowl party.
You certainly could if you like that better! 🙂 Enjoy and have a fun party!
Can you use other flavors of jello
Yes, you can!
I used the 2 cups cool whip but it seemed so runny so i added about 1&1/2 cups more cool whip & after in the fridge overnight is was perfect!
I made per instructions and it was runny but after sitting in the refrigerator overnight it turned out amazing and I also used sugar free jello and lite cool whip… testing this recipe for a dessert my in-laws can enjoy and my husband lost his mind when he decided to eat a slice that led to 2…😂
I’m 71 yrs old. My cousin always made cool whip by whipping egg whits, sugar until stiff. Add lemon juice and stir . It was great.
Can you use the sugar free jello?
Yes, others have tried that and said it turned out great!
Do you know if it’s we friendly? And points
I’ve heard from others that they use sugar-free Jello and fat-free Cool Whip but I haven’t made it that way and haven’t calculated points! Enjoy 🙂
Do I have to let it sit for a full 4 hours?
I would recommend letting it sit just so it’s not runny, but it might be ready in less time! Enjoy 🙂
I replace the water with a cup of flavored yogurt, raspberry is my favorite, so quick and easy!
Can you freeze for a frozen dessert?
Yes! It’s so yummy!
I made the pie with sugar free lemon jell-o and added about 8 drops of lemon juice. It gives it a little zing. Absolutely delicious.
