CAN I MIX ANYTHING INTO THIS PIE?

We often like to mix in diced strawberries in this recipe, it really gives a nice contrast in texture along with adding just a little bit more of that strawberry flavor.

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD?

Yes absolutely!

Since this needs to set up for a minimum of 4 hours it would be great to make ahead.

This can chill up to 24 hours before serving so if you have a gathering that you want to bring this to it would be perfect.

CAN OTHER FLAVORS OF JELLO BE USED?

We have made this in many different flavors in the past, strawberry has just become one of our favorites.

Some other flavors that you can use include:

1. Lemon
2. Raspberry
3. Blue Raspberry
4. Orange
5. Cherry

Whatever flavor that you like best, you can swap for the strawberry jello mix in this recipe and keep the rest of the recipe the same!
