Step 1

Get the water boiling while you work on the other ingredients.

Step 2

Stir together the boiling water and strawberry Jello powder for two minutes until completely dissolved.

Step 3

Next, add the ice-cold water to the jello mixture to make the gelatin and stir until it starts to thicken.

Step 4

With a whisk, add in 2 cups of cool whip and the sliced strawberries and stir until everything is mixed really well.

Step 5

Pop the pie filling in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then pour it out into the prepared pie shell and smooth it over. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. It does take a while to set. It may even take a bit longer than 4 hours depending on your fridge and environment.
