Technically, yes, but it really won’t be the same. Fresh berries have a firmer shape and are much more satisfying to bite into than thawed berries. Additionally, the previously frozen berries may or may not hold their shape in the jello pie. However, if you’re unable to find any fresh berries, you can attempt to use frozen ones by allowing them to thaw first at room temperature for a few hours. Then, follow the instructions accordingly.
Making jello can sometimes feel like a science experiment! If you add too much or too little of an ingredient, it can throw the whole thing out of whack. If the jello is still thin and runny after cooling for 15-20 minutes, you might have added a bit too much water.
Whenever I make this recipe, I always buy an extra jello box or 2 just in case this happens. If your mixture is too thin, start over with a new box and add less water.
Make sure to cover the pie dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil so it stays fresh! Any other pie container with an airtight lid should also do the trick. Once it’s in an airtight container or wrap, place the pie in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to 4 days.


Recipe Tips and Tricks
