Strawberry Gelatin Delight is a refreshing, no-bake dessert that's perfect for any occasion. With its vibrant colors and light, fruity flavors, it's a crowd-pleaser that’s simple to whip up. Whether it’s a summer picnic or an after-dinner treat, this pie is sure to impress.
The ready-made graham cracker crust provides a convenient base with a sweet and slightly crunchy texture that complements the creamy filling. We use boiling water to dissolve the strawberry gelatin, which acts as the main flavoring and sets the pie. Adding cold water helps cool the mixture faster. Fresh strawberries add a natural sweetness and a burst of freshness, while the whipped topping offers a light, airy texture that makes the pie irresistibly smooth.
This delightful pie pairs beautifully with a dollop of extra whipped topping or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. For a fresh twist, serve it with a side of mixed berries or a light mint garnish. It’s an ideal dessert after a light summer meal like grilled chicken or a fresh salad.
First, grab a large bowl and pour in the boiling water. Sprinkle the strawberry gelatin over the water, stirring until completely dissolved. This should take about two minutes. Once it’s dissolved, stir in the cold water until everything is well blended. Pop the mixture into the fridge and let it chill for about 30 minutes. You want it to be slightly thickened but not fully set.
Once your gelatin is ready, take out the bowl and gently fold in the whipped topping. Be careful not to knock out all the air as you mix until the gelatin mixture is smooth and creamy.
Now, it’s time for the graham cracker crust. Arrange the fresh strawberries evenly over the bottom. Pour the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, using a spatula to spread it out evenly. This helps to ensure every bite has that perfect balance of strawberry and creaminess.
Place your pie in the fridge and let it set for at least four hours, or even better, overnight. This ensures the pie is firm and slices beautifully.
