No-Bake Strawberry Jello Pie

As spring arrives, waving its floral scented breeze through my kitchen window, my thoughts drift to the whimsical joys of the season—

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spoon or whisk
  • Pie dish

Ingredients

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
  • 1 package 3 oz strawberry Jello
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 cup whipped cream

Instructions

  • Start by taking your mixing bowl and dissolving the strawberry Jello in the boiling water. This is where the magic begins, as the granules melt away into a smooth liquid.
  • Add the cold water and lemon juice to the mix, stirring well. The lemon juice is my little twist, brightening the flavors and adding a zesty note that cuts through the sweetness.
  • Arrange the sliced strawberries in an even layer on the bottom of the graham cracker crust. This not only ensures a burst of fruit in every bite but also adds a beautiful aesthetic to your pie when sliced.
  • Gently pour the Jello mixture over the strawberries, ensuring even distribution for a uniform set.
  • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, allowing the Jello to set perfectly, hugging the strawberries in a colorful embrace.
  • When ready to serve, crown your creation with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating a cloud-like contrast to the vivid red beneath.

Notes

Serve this pie as a refreshing end to a springtime barbecue or as a festive addition to a Mother’s Day brunch. It pairs wonderfully with a light sparkling wine or a crisp rosé that echoes the fruity notes of the pie.
