Notes
- Layering Tip: Pour each layer slowly over the back of a spoon to prevent colors from mixing.
- Lighter Texture: For an airier pie, fold extra whipped topping into each Jell-O mixture before layering.
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different Jell-O flavors to create your own color combinations!
- Crust Options: Try using an Oreo or vanilla wafer crust for a different twist.
- Extra Firm Layers: Reduce the cold water to ¾ cup per layer for a firmer texture.
