What you need:

  • baking.jpg (7898 bytes)2/3 cup of boiling water
  • 1 package of strawberry gelatin
    (a four serving size)
  • 1/2 cup of cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 tub (8 ounces) of a non-dairy whipped topping*
  • 1 prepared graham cracker pie crust
    (6 ounce or 9 inch in size)
  • Strawberry slices for garnishes along with a sprig of mint

What you do:

  1. Stir the boiling water into a large bowl containing the gelatin and stir for at least 2 minutes to make sure the gelatin becomes completely dissolved.
  2. Mix the cold water and ice to measure 3/4 cup.  Add this to the gelatin in the bowl. and stir until the mixture becomes somewhat thickened.   Remove any remaining ice.
  3. Stir in the whipped topping with a wire whisk until the mixture is smooth.  Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until the mixture is very thick and will mound.
  4. Spoon into the prepared pie crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.  Garnish with the sliced strawberries and mint sprig.

*  You can use real whipped cream
instead of the non-dairy whipped topping. Just whip a pint of whipping cream and add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the cream as you beat it.  Be careful not to overbeat or you will have butter. Add the whipped cream as you would the non-dairy topping in step 3 except fold in with a spatula, and continue to gently fold until well mixed.

This makes 8 luscious servings---
