Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Whipped Mixture
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or whipped topping
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
Instructions
- Dissolve the gelatin: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved, ensuring a smooth mixture.
- Add cold water: Pour in 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cool the gelatin: Allow the gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature, which typically takes about 15-20 minutes. This step is crucial to prevent curdling when adding the cream.
- Whip and fold: Once the mixture has cooled, gently fold in the whipped topping or heavy cream along with the sugar, if using. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy, giving the Jello a light texture.
- Pour into containers: Transfer the whipped gelatin mixture into a serving bowl or individual cups as desired.
- Chill until set: Refrigerate the mixture for 4-6 hours until the Jello is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve chilled for a refreshing and creamy dessert experience.
Notes
- Using whipped topping can make the dessert lighter and easier to whip compared to heavy cream.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on your sweetness preference or choose to omit if you prefer a less sweet dessert.
- Make sure to allow the gelatin to cool properly before adding cream to prevent it from curdling or separating.
- For a fun variation, add fresh strawberries or other berries before chilling.
- This recipe can be made a day ahead and kept refrigerated until serving.
