How long does Easter Jell-O Pie need to set in the fridge?

For the best texture and clean slices, you should let your Easter Jell-O Pie chill for at least 4 to 6 hours, though overnight is ideal to ensure the gelatin has fully stabilized with the whipped topping.

Can I use real whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

Yes, you can use stabilized whipped cream, but keep in mind that real cream is softer. You may need to use slightly more gelatin or ensure the cream is whipped to very stiff peaks to prevent the Easter Jell-O Pie from becoming too runny.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?

Absolutely! Easter Jell-O Pie is an excellent make-ahead dessert. It can be prepared up to 48 hours in advance, as long as it remains refrigerated until the moment of serving.

What flavor of Jell-O works best for Easter?

While lemon and lime offer a bright spring green and yellow, strawberry or raspberry are popular for their pink hues. Mixing several light-colored layers can also create a beautiful rainbow effect.
