04 - 1 (3 oz) box strawberry-flavored Jello

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened. Press firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
02 - Dissolve strawberry Jello in boiling water in a medium bowl. Stir in cold water. Allow to cool to room temperature without letting it set.
03 - Beat cream cheese until smooth in a large bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
04 - Stir diced strawberries into the cooled Jello. Add the Jello mixture to the creamy filling and fold gently until combined.
05 - Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
06 - Before serving, top the pie with whipped cream and garnish with sliced strawberries and optional Easter sprinkles or candies.

# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • The contrast between the creamy cheesecake-like layer and the bright fruity Jello is pure magic
  • You can assemble it the night before and wake up to a stunning centerpiece
  • Kids go absolutely wild for the pink layers and pastel toppings
02 -
  • If your Jello starts setting up before you fold it in, pop it in the microwave for 10 seconds to loosen it up
  • The pie needs a full 4 hours to set, but overnight is even better if you can plan ahead
  • Serrated knives work better than straight ones for cutting through the layers without dragging
03 -
  • Run your pie dish under warm water for 10 seconds before slicing for picture-perfect portions
  • Whip your cream in a chilled metal bowl for the fastest, most stable results
