Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.25 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 box strawberry jello mix (3.4 ounce)
  • 0.75 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 12 ounces Cool Whip thawed
  • whipped cream optional
  • fresh strawberries optional

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers into fine crumbs. Add sugar and pulse a few times. Add melted butter. Pulse until crumbly.
  2. Pour mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Using the bottom of a measuring cup, press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of the dish to form the crust. Chill in the freezer while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, stir the strawberry jello mix and boiling water until completely dissolved.
  4. Slowly add cold water to the mixture and stir well.
  5. Fold in the thawed Cool Whip gently until fully combined. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes. Stir to recombine and chill for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Remove the jello mixture from the refrigerator and stir to ensure thorough mixing.
  7. Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
  8. Top with whipped cream and fresh strawberries if desired. Serve chilled.
