Instructions

In a medium bowl, dissolve the watermelon Jell-O in ½ cup of boiling water, stirring for a minute or two until fully dissolved.
Add ½ cup of cold water and stir. Allow to cool on the counter for about 10 to 15 minutes without letting it set.
Once cooled slightly, gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth, then fold in the diced watermelon.
Spoon the filling into the graham cracker crust, smoothing the top.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set and firm.
Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnishing with Cool Whip, fresh watermelon cubes, or mint leaves.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; avoid freezing to maintain texture.

Notes

You can customize this pie by adding other fruit varieties for a twist.
For a firmer pie, refrigerating for longer than 4 hours may be beneficial.
Make sure to blot the watermelon well to avoid excess moisture.
