Easy No-Bake Jello Pie Recipe

What is Jello Pie?

If you enjoy other no-bake creations like orange fluff or Oreo pie, this jello pie is sure to please you. It features a super simple no-bake recipe that marries a graham cracker crust with a fruity filling made from jello and whipped topping, resulting in a light and fluffy pie.

While my personal favorite is raspberry gelatin, the flavor possibilities are truly endless. Although the pie requires a setting time of at least six hours, the active cooking time is only about ten minutes, making it perfect for novice bakers and kids alike.

This refreshing, creamy pie shines especially bright during summer. However, thanks to the variety of flavors available, it can be enjoyed year-round for any occasion!

How to Make This Easy Jello Pie

Ingredients You’ll Need

To create this delightful jello pie, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 (3-ounce) box raspberry Jell-O
• 2/3 cup boiling water
• 1 cup ice-cold water
• 2 cups thawed whipped topping, plus more for garnish
• 1 (6-ounce) ready-to-use graham cracker crust
• Fresh raspberries for garnish

The process begins with a 3-ounce box of jello; here, we will use raspberry gelatin, but feel free to substitute with your favorite flavor. You’ll need both boiling water and ice-cold water to set the jello properly. I recommend mixing one cup of cold water with some ice cubes while heating the boiling water for best results.

Making This Pie

Start by adding the powdered jello to a large mixing bowl and whisk in the boiling water for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Next, whisk in the ice-cold water, followed by the whipped topping, until the mixture is smooth and streak-free.

Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes until it thickens slightly. Once thickened, stir until smooth and pour it into the graham cracker crust.

Cover the pie and refrigerate for at least six hours until completely set. Garnish with extra whipped topping or whipped cream and fresh berries before serving.

Flavor Ideas

This jello pie recipe shines because you can easily modify it with different jello flavors each time you make it. Consider trying lemon, orange, lime, or pineapple for fresh summer notes—or opt for strawberry or cherry. Pair these with a chocolate graham cracker crust or an Oreo cookie crust for an exciting twist!

Storage Tips

Keep the jello pie covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you plan to garnish with fresh fruit, add it just before serving to ensure the best texture and taste.
