Ingredients

• 3 oz Strawberry-flavored gelatin (Jello)
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Cold water
• 8 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries
• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 6 tbsp Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tbsp Granulated sugar

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

In a large heatproof bowl, dissolve the strawberry-flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes or until completely dissolved.

Step 4

Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir gently.

Step 5

Refrigerate the gelatin mixture for 30-40 minutes until it thickens slightly but is not fully set. It should be the consistency of unbeaten egg whites.

Step 6

Fold the Cool Whip (or whipped topping) into the thickened gelatin mixture. Use a spatula to gently incorporate the two until smooth and fluffy.

Step 7

Dice half of the fresh strawberries and fold them into the jello mixture. Reserve the other half of the strawberries for topping or garnish.

Step 8

Pour the jello mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Step 10

Before serving, slice the remaining fresh strawberries and arrange them on top of the dessert for garnish.

Step 11

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this delightful and fluffy strawberry treat!
