Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Jello gelatin mix (any flavor)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 8 oz Cool Whip (thawed)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, mandarin oranges, or grapes, diced)
- Optional: Whipped cream (for topping)
- Optional: Mint leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, dissolve the Jello gelatin mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved Jello mixture and stir to combine.
Refrigerate the Jello mixture for about 60-90 minutes, or until it starts to thicken slightly but is not fully set.
Once the Jello mixture is thickened, gently fold in the Cool Whip until the two are fully combined and the mixture has a light, fluffy texture.
Add the diced fresh fruit to the Jello-Cool Whip mixture and gently fold until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual cups, and smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves for a decorative touch.
Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing dessert!
