Ingredients 

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)
  • 3 ounces jello (strawberry)
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 cup ice cubes
  • 8 ounces whip topping (cool)
  • 4 cups strawberries (fresh, sliced)

Directions

  1. Using a food processor, pulse graham crackers until crumbly. Mix in sugar, ground cinnamon, and melted butter until crust forms.
  2. Press graham cracker crust into a 9-inch spring-form pan. Place pie crust in refrigerator.
  3. In a large bowl, add boiling water and gelatin powder. Whisk gelatin powder until completely dissolved. Then, add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup ice cubes, whisk until gelatin is slightly thickened. TIP: Let the gelatin mixture sit for 10 minutes to thicken slightly before you add the cool whip otherwise it won’t set up.
  4. Add cool whip topping to gelatin mixture and whisk together until light and fluffy. Stir in sliced strawberries. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until mixture has thickened.
  5. Add strawberry pie filling to pie crust. Refrigerate for up to 6 hours or until firm. Top with cool whip and a sliced strawberry.
