Creamy Dreamy No-Bake Strawberry Milkshake Pie is perfect for summer. Cool, sweet and delicious.
So on the morning of July 4th, our friends invited us over for a pool party and cookout. We were told not to make anything but lucky for me I already had some food items ready to go for the long holiday weekend.
Well, Ella is like her dad and loves any opportunity to make a new dish to share with family and friends. She wanted to make a tart. Then she wanted to make a pie.
Then she wanted to make something with fruit. I tried to give her ideas but she was not liking any of them. I told her to get online and find something that fit what she had in mind.
She settled on this wonderful No-Bake Strawberry Milkshake Pie. What an easy recipe using cool whip, fresh strawberries, strawberry jello and a graham cracker crust. Easy Peasy.
Ella’s No-Bake Strawberry Milkshake Pie was the hit of the party and I am going to need her to make another one so I can get some pictures of the final creamy pie.
