In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the jello powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring continuously until fully dissolved. This should take about 2 minutes.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the jello mixture and stir gently to combine.
Allow the jello mixture to cool for about 5 minutes. It should still be in liquid form but no longer too hot to touch.
Add the vanilla ice cream to the cooled jello mixture. Stir gently until the ice cream fully melts and is blended with the liquid. The mixture will become creamy in texture and slightly thickened.
Pour the jello and ice cream mixture into a serving dish or mold of your choice.
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours, or until it is fully set.
Once the Ice Cream Jello is firm, remove it from the refrigerator. If using a mold, carefully loosen the edges and invert the mold onto a serving plate.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
