Cool'n Easy Strawberry Pie Recipe

I had a heavy sweet tooth this weekend and starting searching for some kid friendly sweet recipes. I found several that I decided I wanted to try. The Cool 'n Easy Strawberry Pie was the first recipe I wanted to make.

The recipe was super easy and it was absolutely delicious. Creamy, but light. The kids had no complaint finishing their plate. They even asked for more. If you want something sweet, light and refreshing this is definitely the recipe to try.

There are only four major ingredients to this recipe.



Ingredients:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, divided
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
  • ice cubes
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed
  • 1 ready-to-use reduced-fat graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz.)
Instructions:

SLICE 1 cup strawberries; refrigerate for later use. Chop remaining berries; set side.

Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved.

Add enough ice to cold water to make 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened.

Remove any unmelted ice.

WHISK in COOL WHIP.

Stir in chopped berries.

Refrigerate 20 to 30 min. or until mixture is very thick and will mound.

Spoon into crust.

REFRIGERATE 6 hours or until firm. Top with sliced berries.

Now doesn't that just look yummy?
