Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, pour the packet of jello and 1 cup of boiling water into the jello mix. Whisk until all the gelatin mixture is dissolved.
3 ounces strawberry jello
Whisk in 1 cup of very cold water.
Next, scoop the completely thawed Cool Whip into the bowl of jello and whisk until smooth and creamy. This step took me about 2 minutes.
8 ounces Cool Whip
Place the bowl in the refrigerator. Set your timer for 40 minutes to chill. I suggest giving it a stir after 20 minutes in the fridge and then allowing it to chill for another 20 minutes.
Scoop chilled pie filling into the premade crusts.
1 chocolate cookie pie crust
Place pie in the refrigerator for 4 hours to chill and set up.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
To make chocolate-covered strawberries, start by rinsing the strawberries and patting them dry with paper towels. This will ensure the chocolate will stick to your strawberries.
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler.
Hold the strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the dipped strawberry on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.
To serve, top with dollops of whipped topping and chocolate dipped strawberries
Notes
Storage and Reheating
Room Temperature: This pie is best kept chilled, so only leave it out briefly while serving before returning it to the refrigerator.
Refrigerator: Cover the pie loosely and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, which makes it a great option for making ahead before guests arrive.
