Strawberry Pie Recipe


STRAWBERRY PIE

PREP TIME: 30 Min
READY IN: 2 Hrs 30 Min
Original recipe yield 1 - 9 inch pie

INGREDIENTS
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin
2/3 cup boiling water
3 cubes ice
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust

DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl, combine gelatin and boiling water. Stir 3 minutes, or until gelatin is dissolved. Add ice and stir until gelatin thickens and cools. Fold in the whipped topping and strawberries. Chill until mixture will mound (chill in the fridge for about 5 minutes or so), then spoon into crust. Top pie with several sliced strawberries. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.


The above directions were from the original recipe. I changed it a bit when we made it for school. I added about an extra 2/3 cup of blended strawberries to the mixture. We also made our crust from chocolate graham crackers and then melted some semi sweet chocolate chips and coated the bottom of the crust. I thought it was a good addition. It tasted like chocolate covered strawberries to me. Mmmmmmm!
