# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Bring 2/3 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the strawberry gelatin powder until fully dissolved.
02 -
Add 1 cup ice-cold water to the dissolved gelatin and stir until the mixture begins to thicken, about 1-2 minutes.
03 -
Pour the gelatin mixture into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in 12 ounces whipped topping until smooth and uniformly pink. Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes.
04 -
After 30 minutes, whisk the chilled mixture again to ensure complete incorporation. Gently pour the filling into the graham cracker crust, leaving a small gap at the top to avoid overfilling. Discard any excess filling.
05 -
Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to fully set.

Before serving, pipe or spoon 4 ounces whipped topping onto each slice using a piping bag fitted with a star tip if desired. Top each slice with a fresh strawberry.
# Extra Suggestions:

For a smoother filling, whisk the gelatin mixture thoroughly at every step to avoid clumps.
02 -
This dessert can be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Switch out strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
