Preparation

Step 1

Using a rolling pin, crush graham crackers until you have the desired amount. Place crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, & cinnamon in a medium sized bowl & stir well with fork, mixing dry ingredients thoroughly. Add in melted butter & stir until graham cracker mixture is completely coated in butter. Press into pie pan.

Empty 3 oz. container of strawberry gelatin powder into a large bowl. Boil 2/3 cup water & add to gelatin. Stir gelatin powder until completely dissolved.

Then, take 1/2 cup cold water & add enough ice cubes to make 1 cup. Add to gelatin mix. Stir until gelatin is slightly thickened. Remove left-over ice cubes.

Using a whisk, add in cool whip. Stir until strawberry gelatin & cool whip are thoroughly mixed. Then, stir in diced strawberries. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until mixture is thick & will mound into pie crust.
