No Bake Strawberry and Cream Pie Recipe

Ingredients

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

STRAWBERRY PIE FILING:

• 1 3 oz. strawberry jello
• ⅔ cup boiling water
• ½ cup ice cubes
• 8 ounces Cool Whip topping, thawed
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Directions

MAKE PIE CRUST

• Premade Graham Cracker Pie Crust: If you are using a premade graham pie crust, just skip this step!
• In a large bowl, mix in graham cracker crumbs, sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until the crust forms.
• Spray a 9-inch spring-form pan with non-stick baking spray. Add graham cracker crumbs to the bottom of the pan. Using the bottom of a spoon or measuring cup, press the graham cracker crumbs evenly to the bottom and sides of the pan. Press graham cracker crust into a 9-inch spring-form pan. Place the pie crust in the refrigerator.

MAKE PIE FILLING

• In a small saucepan, boil only 2/3 cup of water. DO NOT FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE GELATIN MIX!
• In a large bowl, add boiling water and gelatin powder. Add the ice cubes to cool down the jello mixtures and whisk gelatin powder until completely dissolved and foamy.
• TIP: Let the gelatin mixture sit for 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator to thicken slightly before you add the cool whip otherwise the pie won’t set up.
• Add cool whip topping to the gelatin mixture and whisk together until light and fluffy. Stir in sliced strawberries.
• Add strawberry pie filling to the pie crust. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight for best results. Top with cool whip and a sliced strawberry.

NOTES

Blueberries. Add in some fresh blueberries as well, which makes a perfect red, white, and blue dessert for your Memorial Day or 4th of July.

Premade Crust. I love to make a homemade graham cracker crust but sometimes I just don’t have the time. You can use a pre-made graham cracker crust to make it super easy.

Setting Pie: Make sure to add the hot water to the gelatin and let it dissolve. Let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to let it thicken slightly before you add the cool whip. If you don’t, it won’t set up and it will be runny/soupy.

Chilling Time It’s super important to allow at least 8 hours for this pie to set in the refrigerator before serving. For best results, I like to let the pie chill overnight.

Store. Assembled pie in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving. Store leftover pie loosely covered with plastic wrap for 3-4 days.

Freeze. You can freeze this pie for up to 1 month and serve it frozen or thaw it and serve it. Once thawed the consistency of the pie may vary. Once frozen, it’s better to serve frozen.
