How to Make Easter Jell-O Pie – Step by Step
Step1: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish to create an even crust.
- Bake for 8 minutes, then let cool completely before adding the layers.
Tip: Want a no-bake version? Skip the baking and refrigerate the crust for 30 minutes instead.
Step2: Prepare the Jell-O Layers
- Prepare each Jell-O flavor separately:
- Dissolve one Jell-O packet in 1 cup of boiling water.
- Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water.
- Allow it to cool slightly before mixing with the creamy base.
- In three separate bowls, combine:
- ½ cup whipped topping + ½ cup vanilla yogurt with each Jell-O flavor.
- Whisk until smooth.
Step3: Assemble the Layers
- Pour the pink Jell-O mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set.
- Repeat with blue Jell-O mixture, refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
- Repeat with yellow Jell-O mixture, then chill for at least 1 hour before topping.
Step4: Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping
- In a mixing bowl, combine:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 3-5 minutes).
- Spread the whipped cream over the top of the pie.
Step5: Garnish & Chill
- Sprinkle the top with pastel sprinkles and pastel chocolate eggs.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!) before serving.
Pro Tips for the Best Easter Jell-O Pie
Use clear bowls when mixing the Jell-O layers to ensure even blending.
Let each layer set fully before adding the next to avoid mixing colors.
Use a hot knife to slice the pie cleanly. Dip it in warm water before each cut.
Want extra flavor? Add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the Jell-O mixture.
Best Ways to Serve Easter Jell-O Pie
Serve chilled with extra whipped cream.
Pair with a hot drink like tea, coffee, or hot cocoa for a cozy Easter treat.
