Ingredients

  • 1 (3 oz) box flavored gelatin (any flavor)
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups whipped cream or whipped topping
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped fruit, mini marshmallows, or crushed cookies

Instructions

  1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water in a large bowl, stirring until completely dissolved.
  2. Add cold water and stir again. Let cool slightly at room temperature.
  3. Once cooled but not set, gently fold in whipped cream until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Mix in fruit, marshmallows, or keep plain as desired.
  5. Pour mixture into a serving dish or cups. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  6. Top with extra whipped cream or fruit before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Use any jello flavor—strawberry, raspberry, orange, or lime work great.
  • Make layered versions by letting each layer set partially before adding the next.
  • Fold in drained canned fruit like mandarin oranges or crushed pineapple for extra flavor.
  • Crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers on top add a nice crunch.
  • Best served chilled; do not freeze.
