Description
A simple, colorful, no-bake pie perfect for an Easter dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust (9 inch)
- 1 package (3 ounces) lime or lemon flavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional, for brighter color)
Instructions
- Dissolve the gelatin powder completely in the boiling water in a medium bowl.
- Stir in the cold water. Let the mixture cool at room temperature until it is slightly thickened, about 30 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the slightly thickened gelatin mixture until just combined. If desired, add a drop or two of food coloring now.
- Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pie is firm.
- Slice and serve cold.
Notes
- You can use any flavor of gelatin you prefer.
- For a firmer set, chill the gelatin mixture until it is the consistency of unbeaten egg whites before folding in the whipped cream.
