Description

This refreshing Strawberry Cool Whip Pie is a creamy, no-bake dessert featuring a smooth cream cheese and Cool Whip filling topped with fresh strawberries and a layer of strawberry gelatin. The pie is easy to prepare with a pre-made graham cracker crust, making it perfect for warm days or casual gatherings. It combines light, fluffy textures with vibrant fruit flavors for a crowd-pleasing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9-inch)

Filling

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 container (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Gelatin Layer and Topping

  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin (Jell-O)
  • 1/2 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  2. Dissolve the Gelatin: In a separate small bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add 1/2 cup cold water and mix well. Let the gelatin mixture cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes.
  3. Fill the Crust: Pour the cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Spread it evenly to cover the entire crust.
  4. Add Strawberries to Gelatin and Pour: Once the gelatin has cooled, gently spoon the sliced strawberries into the gelatin mixture, then pour the gelatin over the pie, spreading it evenly on top of the cream cheese filling.
  5. Refrigerate to Set: Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is set and the pie is firm.
  6. Add Garnish and Serve: Once the pie is set, top with chopped fresh strawberries for garnish. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  • Allow the gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature before pouring over the pie to prevent melting the filling.
  • Refrigerate the pie long enough to allow the gelatin to fully set, at least 4 hours.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • This pie is best served chilled from the refrigerator.
