Ingredients
Sugar. Just a little bit of sugar adds even more sweetness to the fresh berries.
Cornstarch. The cornstarch helps thicken the gelatin mixture and hold the filling together.
Strawberry Jell-o. Use one 3 oz. box of strawberry gelatin, the 4-serving size one.
Fresh strawberries. You'll need about 1 quart of strawberries for 4 cups of sliced strawberries.
Graham cracker crust. You can use a premade graham cracker crust or make a homemade graham cracker crust.
Recipe Variations
Fresh Berries. Replace some of the strawberries with other fresh berries like blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries.
Jello. Adding other types of berries? Switch out the flavor of Jello too!
Pie Crust. Swap out the graham cracker crust with a baked pie shell or Oreo crust.
How to Make No Bake Strawberry Jello Pie
1. Make the strawberry pie filling.
Whisk the water, sugar, and corn starch together in a medium saucepan.
Heat over medium heat to a boil. Stir for one minute.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the strawberry gelatin until dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Let the Jello mixture cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
Add the sliced strawberries and gently stir until completely coated in the gelatin mixture.
2. Assemble the pie.
Pour the strawberries into the graham cracker crust.
Chill the pie in the refrigerator for about 2 hours or until set.
3. Serve and enjoy.
Serve with whipped topping or homemade whipped cream and more fresh berries.
For best results, serve within 24 hours.
Storage
Store leftover no-bake strawberry Jello pie covered in plastic wrap or an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Expert Tips
Look for strawberries that are uniformly bright red and firm with the green cap still in place. Try to avoid strawberries with white around the stem -- that means they weren't picked when they were ripe.
If desired, pre-bake the store-bought or homemade graham cracker crust to make it a little bit crispier and keep it from softening.
FAQs

This easy strawberry pie filling comes together with water, sugar, cornstarch, strawberry Jello powder, and fresh strawberries. It's poured into a store-bought graham cracker crust and cooled until set.
