Instructions for Jello Pie recipe

1. Prepare the Crust:
   • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated.
   • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan.
   • Bake the crust for about 10 minutes or until lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.
2. Make the Jello:
   • In a medium bowl, dissolve the Jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved.
   • Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.
   • Allow the mixture to cool slightly at room temperature.
3. Combine Jello and Whipped Topping:
   • Once the Jello has cooled but is not set, fold in the whipped topping gently until combined.
   • Do not overmix; the mixture should remain fluffy.
4. Fill the Crust:
   • Pour the Jello mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
   • Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the Jello is set.
5. Serve:
   • Once set, top with additional whipped topping and decorate with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings if desired.
   • Slice and enjoy.

Tips for Jello Pie recipe
Choosing Flavors: Feel free to mix and match different flavored Jello for a unique taste. Layering different colors can also make for a stunning presentation.
Add-ins: Consider adding chopped fruits (like strawberries, kiwi, or mandarin oranges) to the filling for added texture and flavor.
Whipped Topping Substitutes: If you want a healthier option, you can use Greek yogurt in place of whipped topping.
Serving Suggestion: This pie is best served chilled and can be made a day ahead for gatherings or parties.
Crust Alternatives: If you want to try a different crust, consider using an Oreo cookie crust for a chocolatey twist.
