Easy Cool Whip Pie
"My siblings are older than me, so when I was young and my parents were working, they used to cook for me. My brother was and is, in my eyes, the best chef in the world, aside from my mother. My sister, however, is a little culinarily challenged and she used to make whatever was easy. This is one thing she used to make all the time that stuck to me. It reminds me of when I was little."

1 pie

ingredients
- 340.19 g container Cool Whip
- 85.04 g packet gelatin (whatever flavor you like)
- prepared graham cracker crust
directions
- Make the gelatin as directed on the box. Once it's done, let it cool a bit, about ten minutes.
- Once it's cooled down, mix gradually with the Cool Whip. (I don't use the whole container of Cool Whip, I leave out a few tablespoons or else it will overflow and spill. Sometimes, I will mix it all and whatever cool whip is left over, I place in 1 cup plastic containers to take to work for lunch. it's yummy! just an idea).
- Pour it into the crust and place in refrigerator until set. I usually serve this with fruit to compliment the flavor of the gelatin.

YUM!! I used lemon gelatin, and made my own crust. It didn't quite set very well, so I think i might add a half of a block of cream cheese to the mix. I will make this again! -
I found this exact recipe on a chat site. Made it Sunday with Sugar Free Black Cherry Jello and Sugar Free Cool Whip and a Chocolate Graham Cracker crust. Tasted Great! It set up in four hours and held together wonderfully-jiggled like Jello, did not weep, and even my sister who hates Jello said she would eat it again! Score!

<p>I don't really like answering about me sections, but here goes nothing.....I live in Chicago, IL. Went to culinary school. Used to work in a french restaurant in Downtown Chicago as a pastry chef but now I am a stay at home mom. I went to school for cuisine, not pastry, and actually I am much better at cuisine, however I've always wanted to study more pastry. I am not bad at it, I'm actually very good (tooting my own horn), but everyone says I have a natural talent for cuisine. Either way, I love cooking because it is my meditative time. However, when I cook at home, no one dares to walk into the kitchen because I am very bossy and they would rather not deal with me....heehee! <br />I also love to craft, read, and write. I write a lot. Been working on short stories lately, but I've always been more of a poem freak. I love to read....I have a massive collection of books....every type of book. They are mostly cook books and poetry collections, but I also love history, religion, drama, suspense, romance (not the cheesy kind, my favorite book of all time is love in the time of cholera by gabriel garcia marquez, I have yet to see the movie), mystery, murder mystery (second favorite book is and then there were none by agatha christie). <br />And my rambling continues....I come from a small family, I suppose, 1 brother 1 sister and my parents. My brother is married with 3 kiddies, my sister is a single mom of 1. I am engaged to the love of my life. To clarify, engaged is in parentheses because we cannot legally get married yet. I am a lesbian and I am very hopeful to the legalization of gay marriage because I would marry my girlfriend in a heartbeat. We have a 5 year old son, Joel,and a daughter from her previous relationship, Ashley, 12. I will post some pictures on here as soon as I have some time. Enough rambling....thanks for reading, if you actually stayed awake through the whole thing. <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/cookbook.php?bookid=148021 target=_blank><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC10-NoPhoto-Participant.jpg alt= /></a></p>
