One of the bazillion things I love most about this time of year, is that berry prices start dropping. Through the winter months, they are horribly expensive here. I always take full advantage of the lower prices and buying berries often, to bake with and also to eat fresh.
When thinking of a ‘Strawberry dessert recipe’ to feature this week, so many good ones came to mind. There’s so many delicious desserts with strawberries! Yet, a friend suggested trying Strawberry Jello Pie, a dessert that she basically grew up with. On her urging, that is what I made.
The recipe consists of a graham crust, the filling and whip on top – a great combination. It is a fairly simple recipe, yet you do need to allow proper time for cooling, so it does need to be made hours before you can enjoy. Also, it does melt quick, so it’s not a recipe that you’d want to take to a function. You’ll just have to enjoy this one at your home, all the more for you though!
- • honey graham crumbs
- • butter
- • 1 {85g pkg} Strawberry Jello
- • 2/3 cup boiling water
- • 1 cup ice water
- • 2 cups whipped topping
- • 2 cups strawberries
- • 1 cup whipped topping
-
Make the Graham Crust in a pie plate as per the package directions {you'll need butter for this}. Set aside and allow crust to completely cool.
-
In a medium bowl, add the strawberry jello and whisk in 2/3 cup boiling water. Mix until the jello is disintegrated completely.
-
Whisk in 1 cup of ice water until all the ice cubes have melted.
-
Fold 1 cup of whipped topping into the strawberry jello until it is completely combined together. There may be a few small lumps when done, and that is alright.
-
Chill the filling in the refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes until it's thick enough to spoon out into the pie crust {but not longer}.
-
Spoon the filling into the pie crust and place the pie with filling into the freezer for at least 2 hours.
-
Garnish the pie with fresh sliced strawberries and pile on the whipped topping. Enjoy!

Hi there! Quick question that’s totally off topic.
Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly?
My weblog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able
to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.
Cheers!

I do this with all the jello’s. Lemon lime is awesome. But when I do strawberry or raspberry, I fold in the fruit with it. So good.

I also grew up with my mom making this pie so I favourited your blog post. I think we called it strawberry dream pie.
I pulled out my jello book today, The Magic of Jello and compared your recipe to it.
very similar except I mixed the strawberries in.

Hey I know this iss off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any
widgets I could add too my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter
updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like
this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your
blog and I look forward to your new updates.
Suzanne says
Hi Tammi, I REALLY wanted to make this pie, but I was confused because the ingredients list says use 1 c. whipping cream, but the recipe itself says to use whipped topping. (At the time I only had whipping cream….) Can you please explain which one to use? I really didn’t think 1 c. whipped topping would do it – 1 c. whipping cream turns into 2 c. whipped cream. Thanks!
Tammi says
Hi Suzanne! Thanks for noticing this, my apologies. I just double checked my recipe card and fixed the post. 🙂
