Scale
- 1 box (3 oz) strawberry flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (9-inch) graham cracker crust
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin: In a medium bowl, dissolve the strawberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Combine with Cold Water: Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.
- Assemble the Pie: Pour the gelatin mixture evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust.
- Refrigerate: Place the pie in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin is fully set.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with sliced fresh strawberries and whipped cream (if desired) before serving.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, gently toss the sliced strawberries in a little sugar before adding them as a topping.
- Ensure that the gelatin is fully dissolved in boiling water for the smoothest texture.
- This recipe works best when made a day ahead, allowing ample time for the gelatin to firm up.
