2 cups ice cubes
Add the whipped topping.
8 ounces whipped topping
Whisk together until smooth.
Fold in the diced strawberries.
1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries
Pour the mixture into the crust.

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Serve cold with a dollop of whipped cream and a fresh strawberry on top, if desired.

Notes

Recipe Tips:

If you'd rather avoid purchased whipped topping, substitute with freshly whipped heavy cream. You'll need 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream to equal an 8 ounce carton of whipped topping (Cool Whip).
Don't try to substitute frozen strawberries in this recipe. They contain too much liquid and will prevent the pie from setting up.

Storage:

Cover the leftover pie and store it in the refrigerator for up to five days. Freezing is not recommended for any recipe containing gelatin because it loses its texture when frozen.
