Easter Jell-O Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (or make your own)
- 1 package (3 oz) Jell-O (pick any flavor you like – pastel colors like lime, strawberry, or lemon work well for Easter)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 (8 oz) container of whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- Optional: Easter-themed decorations (such as jelly beans, marshmallows, or chocolate eggs)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Jell-O:
- In a bowl, dissolve the Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jell-O mixture and stir. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 1-2 hours until it firms up but is still slightly soft (it should be thicker but not fully set).
-
Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping (Cool Whip) and blend until fully combined and fluffy.
-
Combine the Jell-O and Cream Cheese Mixture:
- Once the Jell-O mixture has slightly set, take it out of the refrigerator.
- Gently fold the Jell-O into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth. Be careful not to over-mix; you want the Jell-O to maintain a little bit of texture.
-
Assemble the Pie:
- Pour the combined mixture into the pre-made graham cracker crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula or spoon to make it even.
-
Chill the Pie:
- Refrigerate the pie for 3-4 hours or until fully set and firm.
-
Decorate:
- Once the pie is set, you can decorate it with Easter-themed treats like jelly beans, mini chocolate eggs, or colorful sprinkles.
-
Serve:
- Slice and serve your beautiful, pastel-colored Easter Jell-O pie! It’s a refreshing treat that’s perfect for Easter celebrations.
Tips:
- Flavor Combinations: You can mix and match Jell-O flavors to create a multi-layered pie with different colors for a more vibrant look.
- For a Thicker Pie: You can add a little more cream cheese or whipped topping to make the filling thicker.
- Make Ahead: This pie is great for preparing a day ahead of time, so it’s ready for your Easter feast without the last-minute prep.
This Easter Jell-O Pie is sure to be a hit at any spring gathering, with its creamy texture, bright colors, and festive vibe! Enjoy!
