Filling
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry-flavored Jello
- ½ cup boiling water
Crust
- 1 graham cracker crust (store-bought or homemade)
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Fresh strawberries
- Dissolve Jello: Boil ½ cup of water. In a medium mixing bowl, add the strawberry-flavored Jello powder and pour in the boiling water. Stir continuously until the Jello is completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to avoid melting the cream cheese.
- Mix Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the slightly cooled Jello mixture. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and Jello together until the batter is smooth and fully combined without lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed Cool Whip or whipped topping into the cream cheese and Jello mixture. Use a spatula to mix carefully until the filling is light, fluffy, and uniformly blended.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the creamy filling into the graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula and smooth the top for a clean finish.
- Chill: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for 2 to 3 hours or until the filling has fully set and firmed up.
- Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, garnish the pie with extra whipped cream and fresh strawberries for added flavor and visual appeal.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps in your filling.
- Fold the whipped topping gently to keep the pie light and airy.
- Chilling for at least 2–3 hours is crucial; for best results, refrigerate overnight.
- Use fresh strawberries and additional whipped cream for an attractive finish.
