Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Base
- 1 package (3 oz) strawberry Jello
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or whipped topping
- 1/4 cup sugar (optional, depending on sweetness preference)
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved to ensure a smooth base.
- Add Cold Water: Pour in 1 cup of cold water and stir well to combine the mixture evenly, helping it cool down.
- Cool Mixture: Allow the gelatin mixture to cool to room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes. This step is crucial to avoid curdling when adding the cream.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping or heavy cream along with the sugar if using. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and fluffy, creating a creamy texture.
- Transfer to Serving Dish: Pour the whipped gelatin mixture into a serving bowl or individual cups to set.
- Refrigerate: Place in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or until the Jello is fully set and firm to the touch.
- Serve: Once set, serve chilled and enjoy the light, creamy texture and refreshing strawberry flavor of your Pink Whipped Jello.
Notes
- Optional sugar can be adjusted or omitted based on personal sweetness preference or if using sweetened whipped topping.
- For a lighter version, use whipped topping instead of heavy cream.
- Ensure the gelatin mixture is cooled before adding cream to prevent separation.
- This dessert can be garnished with fresh strawberries or mint for added presentation.
- Best served chilled for optimal texture and flavor.
