Strawberry Jello Pie Ingredients
- Jello – Strawberry jello is what we’re using for this one. But, yes, it can be made with any flavor!
- Whipped topping – Like Cool Whip.
- Graham cracker crust – You can use a homemade graham cracker crust or store bought.
- Water – Boiling water and ice water for preparing the pie filling.
- Optional garnishes – Fresh cut or diced strawberries and more whipped topping.
How do you make a jello cool whip pie? (step by step directions)
⭐ First, in a large bowl, whisk jello into boiling water until granules are completely dissolved.
⭐ Next, whisk in ice water, followed by the whipped topping.
⭐ Then, chill the strawberry jello mixture until it has started to thicken slightly.
⭐ Finally, pour thickened mixture into your graham cracker crust and refrigerate until fully set. Garnish as desired.

Preparation
What kind of crust for strawberry jello pie?
Traditionally the recipe calls for a graham cracker crust, but you could also use a traditional pie crust recipe.
If you use a traditional crust, make sure to bake it completely and allow it to cool before filling.
Can I make this with a regular pie crust?
Absolutely! Make sure to bake the crust completely before adding pie filling since the filling does not get baked. This homemade pie crust recipe would work perfectly.
Can you make a no bake strawberry cream pie ahead of time?
You can prepare this up to a day or two in advance and store it in the refrigerator. The pie can be piped with whipped cream before you refrigerate or immediately before serving. I find it’s easier to store without the topping.
The pie can also be frozen (see below in Leftovers/Storage for details).
Storage and leftovers
How long does a peanut butter pie recipe last?
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 – 4 days. For best results, store in an air tight container.
Can you freeze jello pie?
We do not suggest freezing pies made with gelatin.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn’t my jello pie firm?
Make sure you’re allowing time for the dish to set completely.
The filling should be chilled and slightly thickened before adding to the crust, then you’ll need to give it another several hours in the refrigerator to firm up completely.
Is jello pie gluten free?
The filling for this recipe is gluten free so as long as you use a gluten-free graham cracker crust, and gluten free pie garnishes it is a gluten-free recipe.
Tips and tricks
✅ Try a strawberry chocolate combo with a chocolate oreo crust or chocolate graham crust and chocolate sauce drizzled over top!
✅ Use a traditional pie crust (pre-baked) instead of graham cracker.
✅ Add some texture with toasted almonds or coconut flakes on top.
✅ Prepare it with other jello flavors too!
