Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (9-inch) pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 package (3 ounces / 85 grams) strawberry Jello
- 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Liquid Ingredients:
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
- Extra fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Dissolve strawberry Jello powder in boiling water, stirring until completely melted and no granules remain visible.
- Incorporate cold water into the Jello mixture, blending thoroughly. Allow the liquid to reach room temperature without solidifying.
- Whip cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gradually stream the cooled Jello liquid into cream cheese mixture, whisking continuously to create a smooth, homogeneous filling.
- Delicately integrate fresh strawberry slices throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Transfer the vibrant strawberry Jello filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, using a spatula to create an even surface.
- Chill the pie in the refrigerator for approximately 4 hours, or until the filling sets completely and becomes firm to the touch.
- Before serving, optionally adorn the pie with additional strawberry slices and a generous dollop of whipped cream for enhanced visual appeal and flavor.
- Slice the chilled pie with a sharp knife and serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing, fruity dessert.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand to ensure a smoother, more consistent filling texture and easier mixing.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional graham cracker crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crust.
- Control sweetness by adjusting sugar levels or using sugar-free Jello for a lighter dessert option.
- Enhance flavor by adding a splash of strawberry liqueur or fresh lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for depth.
