Jello Pie
INGREDIENTS
Filling:
1 small box Blue Jell-O
1 small box Yellow Jell-O
1 small box Purple Jell-O
1 small box Pink Jell-O
2-16 ounces Whipped Cream divided
4 cups Boiling Water
2 cups Cold Water divided
Crust:
- 3 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
- 2 sticks Butter, melted
directions
-
Melt your butter in the microwave until it’s fully liquified.
-
Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until a thick, sand texture occurs.
-
Place the mixture in your springform pan and spread it across the bottom and up the sides, pressing it down so it packs in.
-
Place the crust in the freezer until you’re ready to add layers.
-
Place each color of Jell-O powder in its own small bowl. Place 1 cup boiling water in each bowl and stir until no graininess remains on the bottom of the bowl.
-
Place 1/2 cup cold water in each bowl and stir once more.
-
Place the bowls of Jell-O in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes. You don’t want it to be solidified, just thickened.
-
Add 2 cups of whipped cream to each Jell-O bowl and vigorously mix until fully combined. This may take a minute or two, per bowl.
- Place the first color (I used yellow, but you can do your own color order) in the crust and spread even. Place the pie back in the freezer for 5 minutes, then add the next color, then back in the freezer for 5 minutes. Repeat this process until all 4 colors have been added.
-
Leave the pie in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until completely solidified all the way through.
-
Top with whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!

HERE ARE A FEW MORE SPRING DESSERTS!
This no bake Rainbow Cheesecake is creamy and delicious and so easy to make.
This homemade sweet and salty Chubby Hubby Ice Cream Pie was inspired by the cult favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. So good!
This Sheet Pan Strawberry Slab Pie sings “Springtime” and it’s perfect for feeding a crowd. This slab pie can be made to serve as many as 30, or, as little as 12 if you make the half size. It’s the perfect fresh fruit filling in the most delicious, flaky pie pastry.
This is so fun. Definitely trying it. Visiting you from the hearth and soul link up.
thank you!
Thank you for this colorful dessert. I am thinking of making this for Easter either as a pie or a trifle with either angel food cake or pound cake. How pretty would those layers be in a trifle?! First, could you please tell me if this can be served unfrozen as a light, airy pie? Do you think this would make enough filling for 2 pies? Seems like it would make a lot. Thank you for your help!
you can serve it unfrozen, but I would keep it refrigerated until you serve it. It’s easier to cut if it’s a little frozen. Yes, you would have enough to fill 2 8 inch pie crusts.
Do you whip the cream, before adding it to each different Jello? I’m confused because it says mix vigorously but that would deflate the whipped cream.
no, you do it after you add the jello
Can you use cool whip instead of whipped cream?
yes!
