Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Jello Pie

Pin it

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla extract and set aside.

Step 2: Make the First Jello Layer

In a medium bowl, dissolve one box of Jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring continuously until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup of cold water to cool the mixture.

Step 3: Pour the First Jello Layer

Carefully pour half of the prepared Jello mixture into the graham cracker crust. Set the remaining Jello aside for later.

Step 4: Chill the First Jello Layer

Refrigerate the pie for 30-45 minutes, or until the first Jello layer is partially set (it should still be slightly jiggly). This step is crucial—it prevents the cream cheese layer from sinking.

Step 5: Spread the Cream Cheese Layer

Once the first Jello layer is partially set, gently spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth it out.

Step 6: Chill the Cream Cheese Layer

Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for another 30-45 minutes, until the cream cheese layer is firm enough to support the next Jello layer.

Step 7: Make the Second Jello Layer

While the pie is chilling, dissolve the second box of Jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved. Stir in 1 cup of cold water and let it cool slightly.

Step 8: Pour the Second Jello Layer

Once the cream cheese layer is firm, carefully pour the remaining Jello mixture over the top. Pour slowly and evenly to avoid disturbing the layers.

Step 9: Chill the Pie Completely

Refrigerate the pie for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to ensure all layers are fully set.

Step 10: Decorate and Serve

Before serving, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the pie. Decorate with pastel sprinkles, jelly beans, or mini chocolate eggs for a festive Easter touch. Slice and enjoy your colorful, creamy, and jiggly Easter Jello Pie!
