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

- 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

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

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.
