- 1 cup Boiling water
- 0.5 cup Cold water
- 1 cup Vanilla ice cream
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Fresh fruit for garnish (optional, e.g., strawberries, cherries)
Instructions
Begin by boiling 1 cup of water.

Allow the Jello mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
While the mixture is still slightly warm but no longer hot, add 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. Stir until the ice cream is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the Jello and ice cream mixture into serving glasses, cups, or a dessert dish for layering.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
Optional: Before serving, top with whipped cream and fresh fruit garnish for added flavor and presentation.
