- Start by placing the gelatin in a large mixing bowl. Ensure it’s a bowl that can withstand heat since we’ll be adding boiling water shortly.
- Next, pour in the boiling water over the gelatin. Stir gently to dissolve the gelatin completely. This step is crucial, so take your time to ensure there are no lumps.
- Once the gelatin has completely dissolved, allow it to cool to room temperature. This is an important step because adding cold ingredients too soon can affect the setting process.
- Now, fold in the thawed Cool Whip. Use a spatula and gently incorporate it into the cooled gelatin. You want to maintain that light, airy texture, so be cautious not to over-mix.
- Next, it’s time to add the diced watermelon. Carefully fold the watermelon into the mixture, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout. The combination of colors is so inviting!
- Now, transfer the filling into the graham cracker crust. Spread it out evenly, smoothing the top with your spatula. This will be the top layer of your delicious pie.
- Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least two hours. This waiting period is essential for the pie to set properly and allows the flavors to meld.
- After the chilling time is up, remove the pie from the fridge. Slice it into generous portions, and get ready to serve it to your friends and family.
- As you serve the pie, take a moment to enjoy the reactions on everyone’s face. The lightness and refreshing flavor of the Watermelon Pie make it a perfect dessert for any occasion!
