“8-Minute Light ‘n Fruity Pie”
Here’s a deliciously fruity pie that’s so light it melts in your mouth–and you can make it in only 8 minutes.
1 package (3 oz.) JELL-O Gelatin, any flavor
2/3 cup boiling water
2 cups ice cubes
3 1/2 cups or 8-oz. container COOL WHIP Non-Dairy Whipped Topping, thawed
Fruit (optional)*
8- or 9-inch graham cracker crumb crust
Completely dissolve gelatin in boiling water, stirring about 3 minutes. Add ice cubes and stir constantly until gelatin is thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove any unmelted ice. Using wire whip, blend in whipped topping; then whip until smooth. Fold in fruit. Chill, if necessary, until mixture will mound. Spoon into pie crust. Chill 3 hours.

1 can (8 3/4 oz.) apricots or sliced peaches, drained and diced
