Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Strawberry Jell-O
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 large Banana
- 8 oz Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O powder in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jell-O mixture and stir to combine.
Slice the bananas into thin rounds and gently fold them into the Jell-O mixture.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a large serving bowl. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 to 2 hours, or until partially set (the texture should be thickened but not firm).
Once the Jell-O is partially set, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it out.
Optional: Slice fresh strawberries and arrange them decoratively on top of the whipped topping. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added texture and flavor.
Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set.
Serve cold and enjoy this delightful, fruity treat!
