Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does Homemade Jello Pie Last?

Any leftovers should be kept refrigerated for up to a week. I recommend covering the pie or slices with plastic wrap to prevent the pie from taking on any flavors of other food in the fridge. This will also keep the edges from drying out.

Can You Use Sugar Free Jello?

If you look at the nutrition information estimates for this recipe, you may be pleasantly surprised to see that a single slice is under 200 calories.

However, if you’re looking to reduce the sugar content, you can simply swap sugar free jello for the regular jello in this recipe.

Can You Use Another Jello Flavor?

Of course! Cherry is my favorite flavor of Jello, so that is my go-to when making Jello pie! However, you are welcome to use any flavored gelatin that you like.

Here are some fun ways to use different flavors of Jello:

  • Raspberry for Valentine’s Day
  • Purple jello for Mardi Gras
  • Key lime pie for St. Patrick’s Day
  • Blue raspberry for a boy baby shower
  • Strawberry jello pie for a girl baby shower
  • Orange jello pie for fall

Try a different flavors for every occasion! You could even make a rainbow of pies for a large event!

Can You Make Your Own Crust?

We used a pre-made crust so this would be an easy, no bake dessert recipe. And sometimes baking a crust is the trickiest part of making pie!

However, if you want to use your own graham cracker crust recipe that is totally ok too!
