I have called this recipe the strawberry cool whip pie, but it can actually be any flavor you want, as long as there is a jello flavor for it. Today, I can tell you how to make the 5 ingredient pie, and also the three ingredient pie crust. For the pie:

                  Ingredients for pie

• One 3 ounce package Gelatin (any flavor)
• 3 cups cool whip
• 1/2 cup cold water
• ice cubes
• 2/3 cup boiling water

As you may have noticed, 3 of the 5 ingredients today are water, so this recipe is fairly cheap in price. To make the pie filling, do this:

When the mixture is combined, place it in the fridge for about 20 minutes. The filling will be a little thicker when you pull it back out. While the filling is in the fridge, you could make the crust. Here's what you need:

               Ingredients for crust

• graham crackers (about 5 ounces or one sleeve), crushed
• 1 stick margarine
• 1/2 cup sugar

Now do this to make the crust:

 The crust is ready! Once the gelatin mixture is done sitting in the fridge, spoon it into the crust and spread it out evenly.
