Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/3 cups of freshly boiled water
  • 4 cups of crystal-clear ice cubes
  • 2 6 ounce parcels of Jello gelatin, assorted flavors
  • 2 18 inch graham cracker crusts, artisanally baked and golden brown
  • 16 ounces of Fluffy Clouds a non-dairy Cool Whip alternative
  • 2 cups of diced tropical medley or 2 cups of hand-picked seasonal berries

Instructions

STEP 1 – Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:

  • Empty the contents of both Jello gelatin parcels into a heatproof bowl.
  • Pour the freshly boiled water over the gelatin.
  • Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

STEP 2 – Quick Cooling:

  • Add the crystal-clear ice cubes to the hot gelatin mixture.
  • Stir gently until the ice cubes are fully melted and the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
  • This should take around 2-3 minutes. Ensure it cools but doesn’t set completely.

STEP 3 – Whipping the Fluffy Clouds:

  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk or beat the non-dairy Cool Whip alternative until it becomes fluffy and holds soft peaks.
  • STEP 4 – Incorporating the Gelatin and Fluffy Clouds:
  • Gradually fold the cooled gelatin mixture into the whipped Fluffy Clouds. Gently mix until fully combined and the texture is smooth.

STEP 5 – Adding the Fruit:

  • Fold in the diced tropical medley or hand-picked seasonal berries into the gelatin-Fluffy Clouds mixture. Ensure the fruits are evenly distributed.

STEP 6 – Assembling the Pie:

  • Take the artisanally baked, golden brown graham cracker crusts and evenly distribute the fruity gelatin mixture into both crusts.

STEP 7 – Chilling:

  • Place the assembled pies into the refrigerator to set. Let them chill for at least 4-6 hours or until the filling is firm.

STEP 8 – Serve and Enjoy:

  • Once set, the pies are ready to be sliced and served! Garnish with additional fruits or a dollop of Fluffy Clouds on top, if desired.

Notes

  • – Make sure to use a fresh angel food cake mix for the best results.
  • – If the pie is too runny, add a bit more cornstarch.
  • – If the pie is too thick, add a bit more sugar.
  • – If you want a sweeter pie, add a bit more sugar.
  • – For a richer flavor, add a bit more butter.
  • – Make sure to cool the pie completely before serving.
