- 3 ounces flavored Jello gelatin mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup canned fruit cocktail, drained
- 0.5 cup fresh strawberries or other garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flavored Jello mix and 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for 2 minutes, making sure the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture and stir until well combined.
Refrigerate the Jello mixture for 30-45 minutes, or until it starts to thicken but is not yet fully set.
Using a whisk or hand mixer, gently fold the whipped topping into the thickened Jello mixture until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
Fold in the mini marshmallows and drained fruit cocktail, evenly distributing the ingredients throughout.
Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl or individual dessert glasses.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Optionally, garnish with fresh strawberries or other fruits before serving.
