I love, LOVE no-bake desserts; who doesn’t?! That is what first drew me in to making this Jello Pie, easy peasy, mix up the pie filling, throw the filling in a graham cracker crust, and put it in the fridge to set; that’s it!

I’m telling you, this quick jello pie is where it’s at. The best part is you can use this as a base recipe and make any flavor you’d like.

I like to top mine with more whipped topping or whipped cream and fresh fruit. I’ll normally garnish with the fruity flavor from whatever jello flavor I’m using.

But, you know me, I take it a step further. In a lot of quick jello pies, there is no creamy element; well, I added cream cheese and boy, it just adds the tangy creaminess to it that makes the pie not overly sweet; I’m so in love.

Simply the perfect dessert for a hot summer day. I can’t get enough of easy recipes like this one.

Lily is finally at the age that she can really help in the kitchen. She loves to make this easy dessert with me and lick the beaters afterward!

1. Place the jello mix in a large heatproof bowl.
2. Add the boiling hot water and whisk it in until dissolved.
3. Add the cream cheese to the bowl with the gelatin mixture and beat it with an electric hand mixer until completely smooth with no lumps. Be careful, as the mixture may splash out of the bowl.
4. Fold in the whipped topping until there are no streaks left.
5. Pour the jello mixture into the graham crackers crust. Cover with plastic wrap or the top that came with the graham cracker pie crust and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
6. Garnish with more whipped topping, strawberry slices, banana slices, and mint if desired, and serve.

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes! That is what I love about this no bake easy jello pie.

Once you mix everything up and place it into the crust, you have to place it into the fridge for at least four hours, but I always do it overnight.

So this makes for a fantastic make-ahead dessert.

HOW TO SERVE?

I serve it with more of the whipped topping piped on top of the pie and fresh strawberries.

Other yummy options include:

• Sliced fresh bananas
• Banana chips
• Fresh Mint
• White chocolate chips
• Maraschino cherry

WILL THIS WORK WITH OTHER JELLO FLAVORS?

Yes, this method will work with any flavors of Jello, I have tried:

• Strawberry Jell-o
• Cherry Jello
• Orange Jello
• Peach Jello
• Lemon Jello

Each flavor worked perfectly!

Out of the ones listed above, my favorite is my strawberry jello pie recipe.

DO I HAVE TO USE WHIPPED TOPPING?

No, you can make your own whipped cream. To do so:

1. Place 1 cup of heavy cream into a large bowl with 1/4 cup powdered sugar.
2. Whip with an electric mixer or by hand until stiff peaks form, but do not overmix, or you will have butter.
3. Use it in place of 8 ounces of whipped topping.

ANY ADDITIONS?

Make this simple strawberry jello pie recipe even more of a sweet treat with these extras for a delicious pie that’s a hit on a hot day:

• Fresh Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream instead of extra cool whip for a fresh flavor that elevates this easy jello pie.
• Mixed Berry Pie Twist: Add a handful of blueberries or raspberries with the fresh strawberry slices for a colorful pastel colors vibe and a burst of flavor of jello.
• Lemon Gelatin Zest: Mix a teaspoon of lemon gelatin powder into the strawberry jello mix for a tangy kick in this simple strawberry jello pie.
• Cup of Cold Water: After dissolving the jello in 1 cup boiling water, stir in a cup of cold water with enough ice cubes to chill it faster and enhance the cool whip texture.
• Fresh Mint: Garnish with more fresh mint for a pop of green that makes this jell-o pie look as good as it tastes—a good recipe for social media pics!
• Orange Gelatin Hint: Sprinkle a pinch of orange gelatin into the mix for a citrusy twist that complements the pink strawberry pie.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?

Switch things up with this easy way to tweak the strawberry banana jello pie:

• Sugar-Free Jello for Strawberry Banana Jello Mix: Use sugar-free jello instead of the regular strawberry jello mix for a lighter option that fits a calorie diet or medically restrictive diet.
• Your Own Crust for Prepared Graham Cracker Crust: Swap the prepared graham cracker crust with your own crust made in a springform pan using a food processor.
• Cool Whip for Whipped Topping: Replace the 8 ounces of whipped topping with cool whip straight from the tub for the same creamy goodness.
• Prepared Pie Shell for Graham Cracker Crust: Use a store-bought prepared pie shell with high walls (like a deep-dish option) instead of the 10-inch premade graham cracker crust.
