The name Jell-O was introduced by Pearle Bixby and his wife. He had created the new treat by adding strawberry, raspberry, orange and lemon flavoring to sugar and granulated gelatin.

In a large bowl, add boiling water and gelatin powder. Stir gelatin powder until completely dissolved .Then, add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup ice cubes, stir until gelatin is slightly thickened.
TIP: Let the gelatin mixture sit for a few minutes to thicken slightly before you add the cool whip otherwise it won’t set up.
Add cool whip topping to gelatin mixture and whisk together until light and fluffy. Stir in sliced strawberries. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until mixture has thickened.
Add strawberry pie filling to pie crust. Refrigerate for up to 6 hours or until firm. Top with cool whip and a slice strawberry.
