JELL-O Easy Patriotic Pie

I made this pie today and so far it looks great! I was very cautious with putting my red layer on and ending up spooning it in instead of pouring it. It took more time but it was worth it to have the three defined layers. I also let the blue Jello sit longer than suggested and after I put the cool whip layer on I let that sit in the fridge for a bit too. In the end there were a few small spots of lifted whip cream and I just scooped those out with a knife. Hope my guests love it!!

I had a difficult time with the red layer. It ran over the top of the crust and looked like a terrible mess. If I were to attempt this again, I would try and spoon the top layer on to see if that worked better. I also may just use this recipe in a square pan to see if that works better. Does anyone have a suggestion for how they put the red layer on???? KT Pennsylvania

This pie was certainly not easy to make. I had alot of problems with the red jello running under the whipped topping. The size of the pie shell that is called for I also found to be inadequate. It was much too small for the amount of jello and whipped topping that is called for. I was very frustrated after attempting to make this pie for our July 4th party. I ended up throwing one away, and the other will certainly not be served at the party as it is absolutely hideous! It made a huge mess trying to move the pie to the refrigerator to set as well, so I had to clean out the fridge and mop the floors when I was finished. I will not be making this "easy" pie again!

Mine did not look like the pic. My grocery did not have berry blue, so I got green and it ran together with the whip and red. Haven't tasted it yet but its not beauty. I will try again though.

This pie is sitting in my fridge now. Yes it does take 20 minutes for the blue jello to sit! I did let the red jello sit a little too long but it was easier to pour on and there were no cool whip floaties! I'm sure it will turn out great...it looks delicious already. This is a great idead for any occasion, neat thing is you can mix up the colors. This is definetely one that requires patience...but in the end will pay off!

My pie looked nothing like this as the red jello just ran around the cool whip and looked like a mess. If I was to make it again, I would just put the cool whip on top and it would look better in the long run.

It was very easy my husband loved it and a diferent twist to just having jello as my husband does for his treat after dinner. Thanks again Kraft for these wonderful recipes.

This is a very versatile recipe. I also added berries (blueberries and Strawberries) and it was a big hit. Another yummy combination is peach gelatin with peaches and raspberry gelatin with fresh raspberries. I also made this with sugar free Jell-O and reduce fat Cool Whip and a reduced fat crust to keep it "diet friendly"

I made this yesterday with great success! I used the 9oz pie crust instead of the 6oz, which left a little too much room (but better than not enough!) so I had room for another layer of Cool Whip on top. I allowed both of the jell-o layers to set at least 20 - 25 minutes, and spooned the red layer on to prevent the coolwhip from floating. I also placed raspberries in the blue layer and blueberries in the red layer for a neat contrast. I am a total novice and this was very easy to make!

I love the blend of jello, whipped cream and a delicious crust. This is a great dessert for serving at a July 4th bbq and can be made ahead. It is festive and tastes great.
