Notes
*In addition to a graham cracker crust, you can make a regular single pie crust, which I usually make gluten-free with my favorite gluten-free flour. You can also make a Pecan Sandies crust, Vanilla Wafer crust, Golden Oreo crust, pecan nut crust, or store bought crust.
*You can use any brand gelatin you want. And just to clarify in case there's any confusion, strawberry gelatin and strawberry Jello are one and the same. You'll find different brands of gelatin or Jello, but gelatin and Jello are the same thing.
*If you'd rather use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, you can totally do that. While I haven't tried it, I'd also think you can use Dream Whip if it's all you have on hand. I prefer to use Cool Whip for this because the point is to make a quick and easy dessert, and it doesn't require me to mix anything up. It's ready to go, and I don't have to do a thing.
HOW TO STORE JELLO COOL WHIP PIE
Be sure to cover the pie and store it in the refrigerator if not eating right away. Any leftovers should be refrigerated due to the cream filling.
And yes, you can freeze this easy strawberry pie. In fact, you can put it in the freezer for a few hours, and then serve it as a frozen treat! Just be sure to cover it well and store it in an airtight pie container so it doesn't get freezer burn. It should keep for up to 2 months in the freezer if you want to freeze it long term.
