Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Graham cracker pie crust
- 0.5 cups Boiling water
- 3 oz package Jell-O gelatin mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 0.5 cups Cold water
- 8 oz Frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit or berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, pour the gelatin mix and add the boiling water. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
In a separate cup or small bowl, combine the ice cubes and cold water, ensuring the total liquid equals around 1 cup. Slowly add this ice water mixture to the dissolved gelatin, stirring until the ice is melted and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Add the thawed whipped topping to the gelatin mixture. Gently fold the whipped topping in until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly to ensure a smooth, flat top.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until it is fully set and firm.
Optional: Before serving, garnish the pie with fresh fruit or berries to add a decorative and flavorful touch.
Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy this light, cool, and effortless dessert!
