Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the sugar-free strawberry Jell-O and sugar-free vanilla pudding with boiling water and stir well.
- Allow the mixture to cool for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Arrange sliced fresh strawberries in the graham cracker pie crust.
- Pour the cooled Jell-O and pudding mixture over the strawberries.
- Chill the pie until set.
- Before serving, top with Cool Whip.
Tips & Substitutions
For a firmer filling, reduce the amount of boiling water when mixing the Jell-O and pudding. If fresh strawberries aren't available, frozen strawberries can work, but be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid extra liquid. You can also substitute the graham cracker crust with a nut-based crust for a gluten-free option, if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the pie chilled, topped with a dollop of Cool Whip for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a side of fresh whipped cream. This dessert is perfect for summer gatherings or barbecues and complements dishes like Seven Bean Salad and Sausage Supreme.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The pie may lose some firmness over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, then placing them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.
