Ingredients

  • Fill measuring cup with cold water and add enough ice cubes to make it 1 cup of water and ice.
  • Pour ice water over Jello mixture and stir until it starts to thicken.
  • Chill for 15 minutes.
  • Gently fold Cool Whip into Jello until smooth. Pour mixture into Oreo crust.
  • Refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours or until firm.

Notes

  • I do not recommend freezing this pie. The texture changes when it defrosts and becomes watery.
  • Use any flavor jello mix
  • Don't skip the 15 minute chill step or your pie won't set up.
  • Some of the jello may sink to the bottom of a pie giving a jello line under the creamy filling. This is normal.
