Ingredients

1 graham cracker crust
3 oz. package flavored Jello gelatin (any flavor)
½ cup boiling water
1 cup ice cold water
8 oz. Cool Whip thawed (see note below)
whipped cream optional, for serving

Instructions

Make our graham cracker crust or use a ready-made crust. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gelatin powder and boiling water for a couple minutes until completely dissolved. Whisk in the ice cold water for a couple minutes until cooled and slightly thickened.
Gently stir in Cool Whip until fully blended and the mixture is a uniform pastel color.
Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to chill slightly. This helps prevent it from being too loose when poured into the crust.
Give your gelatin mixture a whirl and pour into the prepared crust.
Place the filled pie back in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours until firm and set.
Slice and serve with some fresh piped whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

Fully dissolve the gelatin before moving on to ensure a smooth filling and proper set.
Let the gelatin mixture cool and thicken slightly before adding the Cool Whip for the fluffiest texture.
Fold gently until no streaks remain; overmixing can deflate the filling.
Refrigerate for the full 4-6 hours before slicing so the pie sets properly.
For clean slices, use a sharp knife and wipe the blade clean between cuts.
This recipe can be made with any flavor of Jello gelatin.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The crust may soften slightly over time.
Freeze for up to 1 month; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
