Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) Jello (any flavor)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 cups Vanilla ice cream (or any flavor of choice)
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Fresh fruit or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the Jello powder completely by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over it. Stir briskly for 2-3 minutes or until fully dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved Jello mixture and stir to combine.
Chill the Jello in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until it starts to thicken but has not fully set (it should have the consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
Once the Jello is partially set, remove it from the refrigerator and gently fold in the 2 cups of slightly softened ice cream. Stir until the mixture achieves a uniform color and consistency.
Pour the Jello and ice cream mixture into dessert glasses, parfait cups, or a serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an additional 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, top each portion with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit or sprinkles, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy this fruity, creamy dessert!
