No-Bake Raspberry Pie Recipe with Jello

No Bake Raspberry Pie made with Jello, whipped cream, & fresh raspberries is an easy summer dessert that comes together fast for a cool, creamy family treat.

When summer is busy, simple desserts always save the day. This recipe is one of those old-fashioned favorites that feels special without creating a sink full of dishes. 🙌

As a mom of two, I love recipes that come together quickly and still disappear just as fast. This pie checks both boxes! It has a light, creamy texture, sweet raspberry filling, and a buttery graham cracker crust that everyone seems to love.

Whether you’re heading to a family barbecue or just want a cool dessert after dinner, this recipe is a great one to keep in your collection.

What Is No Bake Raspberry Pie?

This classic pie is a chilled dessert made with raspberry Jell-O, whipped cream, sugar, and fresh raspberries. Everything gets folded together and spooned into a graham cracker crust before chilling until firm.

The result is a fluffy, creamy filling with plenty of fresh flavor. Since it chills in the refrigerator instead of baking, it’s a perfect summer dessert when you don’t want to heat up the kitchen.

You can use a pre-made graham cracker crust to save time. Or, if you have a few extra minutes, make a homemade graham cracker crust for even better flavor.

Optional Homemade Graham Cracker Crust Ingredients

• 1 1/3 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup melted butter

How to Make No Bake Raspberry Pie

1. If making a homemade graham cracker crust, crush graham crackers into graham cracker crumbs and combine with melted in a medium bowl. Press the mixture evenly into a pie dish. Bake graham cracker crust at 350°F for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely before filling.
2. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and fresh raspberries. Gently stir until the berries are coated.
3. Next, dissolve the raspberry Jello in the hot water. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture becomes syrupy but not fully set.
4. Fold the raspberry mixture into the cooled Jello.
5. Then gently fold in the whipped cream until everything is evenly combined. Be careful not to overmix so the filling stays light and fluffy.
6. Spoon the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
7. Slice and serve with extra whipped cream and fresh berries if you’d like. That’s the best part! 😊

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen raspberries?

Yes! Thaw and drain them first so the filling doesn’t become watery. But really this is best using FRESH berries.

Can I use Cool Whip?

Absolutely. Cool Whip works well if you’re looking for an even quicker dessert.

Does the pie need to stay refrigerated?

Yes. Since the filling contains whipped cream, keep it chilled until you’re ready to serve.

Can I make my own crust?

Definitely! A homemade graham cracker crust adds wonderful flavor and a slightly crunchy crust. Just bake it at 350°F for 10 minutes before adding the filling.

Can I use other berries?
