❓ FAQs

➡️ Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, this pie can be made up to 2 days in advance. Just cover and refrigerate.

➡️ Is this a true jello pie or a cream cheese strawberry dessert?

It’s a hybrid of both. The Jello adds flavor and color, while the cream cheese gives it richness.

➡️ Is this pie freezer-friendly?

It can be frozen, but the texture may change slightly. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

➡️ Can I use sugar-free Jello?

Yes, sugar-free Jello works just fine if you’re looking to cut down on sugar. The flavor will still be great.

➡️ Can I add fresh strawberries to the filling?

Yes, chopped strawberries can be folded into the filling for added texture and fresh flavor.

➡️ Do I have to use a store-bought crust?

Nope! You can make a homemade graham cracker crust if you like. Just press it into a pie dish and chill it before adding the filling.

➡️ Is this the same as a strawberry cream cheese pie?

It’s very similar, but this version includes strawberry Jello for added flavor and structure.

➡️How do I store leftovers?

Store any leftover Strawberry Jello Cream Pie in the refrigerator. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or use a pie container with a lid. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Ingredients 

  • 2 blocks cream cheese, 8 ounces each, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 box strawberry-flavored Jello gelatin, 3 ounces
  • 1 container frozen whipped topping, 8 ounces, thawed
  • 1 9-inch graham cracker crumb crust
  • Additional whipped topping, for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh strawberries, sliced or halved, for garnish (optional)

Instructions 

  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer.
  • Add the granulated sugar and strawberry gelatin. Mix until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping and mix until creamy and uniform.
  • Spoon the mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  • Before serving, garnish with extra whipped topping and fresh strawberries, if desired.

Notes

  • Let the pie chill completely before slicing.
  • Store any leftover Strawberry Jello Cream Pie in the refrigerator. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap or use a pie container with a lid. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
  • For the best texture, avoid freezing, as the creamy filling may become watery once thawed.
  • Add fresh strawberries just before serving if you’re storing slices to keep them from getting soggy.
  • For a richer flavor, add 1/3 cup vanilla-flavored dry coffee creamer along with the sugar and gelatin.
