Since warm weather has arrived you may be needing this Quick & Easy Strawberry Pie Recipe. We are constantly looking for quick and easy desserts to throw together for grill outs. Spring and summer always have me anxious for great strawberry desserts. I shared a few strawberry recipes this past week like the yummy CopyCat Starbucks Strawberry Frapp, Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups and the yummy Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles. All have been a hit in our house.
Quick & Easy Strawberry Pie Recipe

Do you find yourself in a bind during the warm months looking for a dessert that does not take much time or heat up your whole home? You are really going to run to this recipe over and over.
The strawberries and Cool Whip blend so well together and the Jell-O adds that additional punch of flavor. I used a store bought graham Cracker Crust to save on time. You could also make your own too!

I have made this pie for years. My recipe calls for 2/3 cup ice, I think. HA!! I also put cool whip on top just for looks. This is one of the best pies I have ever made. I also make it peach. YUM!!
Sounds so good and different from the pie I make. Pinning! Thanks for sharing it on Funtastic Friday!
I love Strawberry Pie as a spring/summer dessert. This one looks delicious and super easy to make.
Thank you for linking up with us at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope you will join us again on Friday.
What size pkg of jello is to be used in the recipe – 3oz pkg???
Love, love this recipe, super easy and delicious. Thank you for sharing.
My mom always made this but instead of crust she put an angel food cake in the middle , an old Tupperware recipe. Or you could tear up the angel food cake and put in the middle yum. Great recipe.
I made this pie according to directions and was great. I then got experimental. Instead of water I used the juice from the fruit I choose or 1/4 c water with whole fruit pulverized in a food processor, like blackberries, raspberries and such. This added a awesome burst of flavor to the jello mix and the pie was fantastic. So far I have done this with Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Mandarin Oranges, Blackberries, Peaches, and Pineapple. Gonna try Lemon, Lime and then maybe mixed fruit yet.
Why can’t people ever answer the question about the size of the Jello? Please…
A small box of Jello. 4-6 servings size.
