Cool 'n Easy Strawberry Pie


Found
this repice at Kraft Foods. I love easy desserts, especially when they involve fruit so this one's a keeper.

Cool 'n Easy Strawberry Pie

2 cups fresh strawberries
2/3 cup boiling water
1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin
ice cubes
1/2 cup cold water
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP, thawed
1 ready-to-use graham cracker crumb crust (6 oz.)

SLICE strawberries; set side. Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to make 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice.

WHISK in COOL WHIP. Stir in chopped berries. Refrigerate 20 to 30 min. or until mixture is very thick and will mound. Spoon into crust.

REFRIGERATE 6 hours or until firm.

The recipe calls for half the strawberries to go in the pie and the rest to go on top. We thought the more in the pie the better so that's all I did differently.
