Kraft Recipes shared a delightfully quick and easy recipe on their YouTube channel, and it will make you feel like a kid again, remember all those summer days next to the pool.

The "dreamy, creamy, easy strawberry pie is light and refreshing with just the right amount of sweetness," Kraft promises, and we tend to agree.

We are not exaggerating when we say it's easy to make: apart from boiling water, cold water, and ice blocks, you'll only need four other ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 package Jell-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
  • 1 tub Cool Whip Lite Whipped Topping, thawed
  • 1 ready-to-use reduced-fat Graham cracker crumb crust
  • 2/3 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • Ice cubes

And guess what? It is no-bake too and takes under ten minutes to prepare. However, factor the freezing time in so you don't run short on time.

METHOD

Slice 1 cup strawberries and leave the second in the refrigerator for later, you'll use it a pie topping.

Next, prepare the gelatin mix by adding the boiling water and stir for two minutes. Make sure the gelatin is completely dissolved before adding the cold water and ice cubes.

Stir slightly until thickened and remove any unmelted ice. Now is the time for the magic to happen: whisk Cool Whip and mix with the Jell-O, and add the chopped strawberries.

Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the mixture is thick enough to scoop out with a spoon, without losing its shape.

Spoon the mixture into the Graham cracker crust and refrigerate for an additional six hours. Remove from the fridge, top with sliced strawberries, and voila! Ready to serve.
