Cool Whip Pie

Mom started making this when we first moved to the US about 15 years ago...then we stopped making it and I completely forgot about it.  Until last night.  Luckily I always have tubs of cool whip in the deep freeze, and I almost always have a graham cracker crust in my baking cupboard.  It took less than five minutes to make it...and about the same amount of time to gobble it up an hour or two later!
Ingredients:
2/3 cup boiling water
1 small pkg jello (any flavor)
1/2 cup of water (fill with ice cubes, then fill the rest of the measuring cup with cold water)
1 tub cool whip
1 graham cracker crust

Directions:
*Mix boiling water and jello until combined

*Add cold water and ice cubes.  Mix until ice cubes are fully melted

*Add the tub of cool whip and whisk until mixed.

*Put mixture in the fridge for about 25 minutes to let it harden up some...if not the liquid will make your graham cracker crust soggy.

*Take out of fridge, pour into graham cracker crust, put back in the fridge for an hour or two to completely cool.

(Either a cool whip or a jello recipe)
