This no‑bake strawberry Jello pie is the ultimate easy summer dessert — only 5 ingredients, ready in minutes, and no oven required. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or craving a sweet treat, this light, refreshing pie hits the spot every time.
Why You'll Love No-Bake Strawberry Jello Pie
This easy strawberry jello pie recipe is super simple, but it's full of sweet flavor. 5-ingredient jello pie was a cornerstone of my childhood. Seriously, this was one of my favorite treats. A couple times a year my mom would whip this pie up, and it would all be gone in one evening.
One thing I like about this quick strawberry jello dessert (other than how easy it is), is how budget-friendly it is. I figured with the strawberries on sale for $1.39 a pint, a graham crust for $2.39 and strawberry jello and vanilla pudding for $1 each, you’ve got an entire pie for less than $6. It’s perfect for a night at home, or a picnic, or potluck, and you’ve hardly invented any money into it.
Ingredients in No-bake Strawberry Jello Pie
The ingredients needed to make this simple summer dessert recipe are just that--so simple. They are easy to find at your grocery store, or already in your pantry. Here's what you need:
Strawberries: The main ingredient of this no-bake pie is fresh strawberries. Slice them or dice them however you want, their flavor will shine through.
Jello & Pudding You can use name brand or generic gelatin for this strawberry pie recipe, but the only thing to make sure is that you purchase the cook and serve pudding. Instant pudding packets will not work in this recipe.
Graham Cracker Crust: Using a graham cracker crust from the grocery store is what makes this recipe a no-bake dessert recipe.
Water to boil the Jello and pudding packets.
How do I make Strawberry Jello Pie with Graham Cracker Crust?
Here's the step-by-step instructions to making Strawberry Jello Pie:
- Wash and slice your strawberries, then put them directly into the bottom of your graham cracker pie crust. Use an entire pint (16 oz.)
- Boil two cups water, then add the jello packet and pudding packet. Stir the mixture until all the powder is dissolved, and then remove from heat and pour over the strawberries.
- Place the strawberry jello pie to the refrigerator and let the jello mixture set up. This takes about four hours.
How Long does Strawberry Jello Pie with Graham Cracker Crust Last?
In our house, this strawberry jello pie typically doesn't last more than a day. However, if you are making this recipe for a barbeque or party and want to plan ahead, this strawberry jello dessert will last a week in the refrigerator.

Remember a couple months ago when strawberries went on sale and I had them coming out my ears because they went way on sale (like 99 cents a pint on sale)? And I made this strawberry jelly, and these strawberry jalapeno margaritas? This was one of the recipes I had to make and share. Just like when I was growing up, the pie did not last long.
How to Serve this Summer Dessert Recipe
The last time I made this, I made it with my favorite pulled pork recipe--which I put on some buns with barbeque sauce for my family. Gone so quickly. RIP, Strawberry Jello Pie.
