How to make Strawberry Jello Pie
Be sure to see the recipe card below for full ingredients & instructions!

- Bake the crust.
- Line the crust with fresh strawberries.
- Pour over the gelatin mix.

How long does it keep?
This is a great make ahead dessert, perfect if you are planning to serve it as part of a big feast. Once the jello has set, cover the pie with plastic wrap and it will keep well for 3 days.
It’s best not to freeze it, as the texture of the jello can change quite considerably once it is thawed.
How do you serve it?
This strawberry jello pie, in my humble opinion, should be served with some fresh whipped cream. Vanilla ice cream also makes a nice topping. It’s also never a bad idea to add a little grated chocolate to the top, if you like.
Recipe Variations
This pie is pretty delicious as it is, but it’s easy to use this base recipe to make any fruit jello pie you like. You can easily adapt this to use different fruits and flavored jello. Raspberry and orange are both great choices.
To make this pie super easy, I used a store bough pie crust, but of course, if you have a favorite crust recipe, feel free to use that.

Tips!
- Use fresh rather than frozen strawberries for this recipe. Frozen fruits are either likely to stay frozen, or, release too much liquid into the jello.
- Let the pie crust cool fully before adding the strawberries and jello.
- Allow 2 to 3 hours for the pie to fully set before serving.
This strawberry jello pie is a wonderful addition to any table. Wonderfully fresh tasting, it’s a perfect summer dessert. Just don’t forget that whipped cream!

Nutrition Information
Great pie but, I think it’s even better with a Graham Cracker Crust.
A touch of cinnamon in the crust is good too.
Definitely modify to your liking!
Made it the first time w/deep dish pie crust which your measurements were on point. It was a hit w/my kids & their friends, tough crowd too please but this mama hits the mark every time😁
Just did this recipe again today for a family Easter dinner but used a graham cracker crust instead (Kids input) so I will have to update later to see if it is a hit with the super picky extended family😆
*Measurements for graham cracker crust need adjusting or just make it a deep dish. Had about 1/4 cup of liquid leftover😬
Great recipe and thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by and sharing, Janis!
