MAKE IT
Step 1
Place strawberries, sugar and 1/2 cup evaporated milk in blender or food processor; cover. Puree for 20 seconds or until smooth.
Step 2
Heat remaining 1 cup evaporated milk in small saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat. Sprinkle gelatin over milk mixture; stir until completely dissolved. Whisk in strawberry mixture; pour into a medium bowl. Refrigerate uncovered for 20 minutes or until cool to touch. Gently whisk in whipped topping and red food coloring to color desired. Pour mixture into crust.
Step 3
Refrigerate for 2 hours until set.
Step 4
Dissolve 2 to 4 drops of green food coloring in 1/2 teaspoon water in small, resealable food storage plastic bag. Add coconut. Seal bag and shake evenly to coat coconut. Spoon coconut around edge of pie to form 8 “nests”. Place 3 jelly beans in center of each nest.
