9. Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust.
10. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until it's completely set.
Variations
If you want to mix things up, try using different flavors of Jello and frozen fruit. You could also use a different type of crust, such as a traditional pie crust or a chocolate cookie crust.
Tips
If you don't have frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, you can use fresh strawberries. Just be sure to wash and slice them before adding them to the Jello mixture.
Make sure the Jello mixture is only partially set before folding in the whipped topping. If it's too firm, the whipped topping won't mix in properly.
