Instructions

Dissolve gelatin: Add the strawberry Jell-O gelatin powder to a large mixing bowl, then pour in ⅔ cup boiling water. Whisk thoroughly for about 2 minutes until all the gelatin is fully dissolved.
Add cold water: Pour in 1 cup of ice cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and whisk until the liquid becomes frothy, helping to incorporate air for a lighter texture.
Mix in Cool Whip: Gradually fold in 8 oz of thawed Cool Whip into the gelatin mixture, stirring until the mixture is completely blended and achieves a light pink color.
Chill the mixture: Place the mixture into the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes or until it thickens enough to be spooned easily into the pie crust.
Fill the crust: Spoon the thickened Jello mixture evenly into the graham cracker pie crust and smooth the surface using a spatula for a neat finish.
Refrigerate to set: Refrigerate the assembled pie for 4 hours or overnight to allow it to fully set before serving. Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries just before serving for an added fresh touch.

Notes

Ensure the Cool Whip is properly thawed before mixing for smooth blending.
You can substitute fresh or frozen strawberries finely chopped into the filling if desired.
For a firmer set, refrigerate the pie overnight.
Use a chilled mixing bowl for better texture when folding in the Cool Whip.
To make it vegan, use a plant-based whipped topping and vegan gelatin alternatives.
