Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Jell-O gelatin (any flavor)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 8 ounces Whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Instructions
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the Jell-O gelatin completely in the boiling water. Stir for about 2 minutes to ensure all powder is dissolved.
Add the cold water and ice cubes to the gelatin mixture. Stir until the ice cubes have melted and the mixture begins to thicken slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer 1-1/2 cups of the thickened gelatin into a blender. Add the thawed whipped topping to the blender and blend on high speed for 30 seconds or until the mixture is well combined and frothy.
Pour the blended mixture evenly into serving glasses or a single dish. This will become the top two layers of the dessert as it sets (the creamy mousse and fluffy topping).
Pour the remaining plain gelatin (from the bowl) over the blended layer into the serving glasses or dish. This will form the bottom clear gelatin layer.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
Serve chilled, and watch the beautiful three layers of Jell-O 1-2-3 delight your guests!
