Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz (1 package) flavored gelatin (Jello)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1.5 cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
- 1 cup fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, or peaches), chopped
- 1 sprig optional garnish: mint leaves
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour the flavored gelatin (Jello) powder.
2. Add 1 cup of boiling water to the gelatin powder. Stir continuously for 2-3 minutes, or until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
3. Once dissolved, add 1 cup of cold water to the mixture and stir to combine.
4. Transfer the bowl to the refrigerator and let the gelatin cool and partially set for 30-40 minutes. The texture should be gel-like but still soft enough to whisk.
5. Remove the partially set gelatin from the refrigerator. With a hand whisk or electric mixer, vigorously whip the gelatin until it becomes light and foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Gently fold in 1.5 cups of whipped cream, ensuring it is evenly incorporated but taking care not to deflate the mixture.
7. Add the chopped fresh fruit to the mixture and stir gently to distribute the fruit evenly.
8. Spoon the fluffy Jello mixture into serving dishes or a large glass bowl for family-style serving.
9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set and firm.
10. Before serving, optionally garnish with a sprig of mint for added freshness and presentation.
