Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jell-O mix in 1 cup boiling water, stirring for 2 minutes until fully dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and stir, then refrigerate until slightly thickened but not set, about 30 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Step 3: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 2 cups whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined, then fold in the remaining whipped cream for a fluffy texture.
  5. Step 5: Pour half of the slightly thickened Jell-O over the 9-inch graham cracker crust in a pie dish and refrigerate for 10 minutes to let it firm slightly.
  6. Step 6: Spread the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture evenly over the Jell-O layer, then carefully pour the remaining Jell-O on top. Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or until fully set before serving.
