Easy Strawberry Jello Pie Recipe for Summer Treats

When summer hits and the strawberries are bursting with flavor, I crave something light, cool, and effortless. This easy strawberry Jello pie checks all the boxes. It reminds me of those backyard picnics where someone always brought that one dish everyone hovered around—this is that pie. You only need a handful of ingredients, and the hardest part is waiting for it to chill. Seriously, no oven, no stress, just a bright, fruity dessert with a creamy whipped topping that melts on your tongue. I’ve made this for family barbecues, impromptu get-togethers, and once... just because I had a tub of Cool Whip and a craving. It’s got that glossy Jello sheen, the kind that catches the sunlight and makes your mouth water. A buttery graham cracker crust, a mountain of sliced strawberries, and a soft-set Jello that holds it all together like a sweet, edible hug. It’s dessert with minimal effort, maximum reward—and honestly, who couldn’t use more of that?

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 oz) package strawberry Jello
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
  • 2 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Add the cold water and mix well. Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to cool down slightly.
  3. Fold in the thawed whipped topping gently until well combined. You’re going for creamy, not foamy.
  4. Arrange sliced strawberries into the pie crust. Pour the Jello mixture over the berries, smoothing the top.
  5. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  6. Slice, serve, and try not to eat half the pie in one go.
