Cool Whip "Cheater" Pies

From , former About.com Guide

These easy-to-make pie recipes start with Cool Whip.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 packages pudding mix or Jello mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 container Cool Whip
  • Graham Cracker Pie Crust

Preparation:

Mix 2 packages of pudding and 2 cups of milk thoroughly. Gently fold in 1 container of Cool-Whip. Spoon into a graham cracker crust. Chill.

OR

Mix 1 package Jello with 2/3 cup boiling water. Mix until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup cold water and enough ice cubes to make 1 1/4 cup. Stir until slightly thickened. Remove any remaining ice. Gently fold in 1 container of Cool-Whip. You can also mix in some sliced fresh fruit (strawberries are luscious) at this point. Refrigerate about 10 minutes, until filling will mound. Spoon into a graham cracker crust. Chill at least 2 hours. - Kim, forum member
