Jello Whipped Cream Dessert

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, dissolve the Jello powder in the boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
2. Add the cold water and stir again. Refrigerate the mixture until partially set, about 1 hour.
3. While the Jello chills, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the semi-set Jello to create a fluffy, mousse-like mixture.
5. Spoon the mixture into dessert cups or bowls and chill for at least one additional hour, or until fully set.
6. Garnish with fresh berries just before serving.

Variations

• Layer two different Jello flavors for a colorful, eye-catching dessert.
• Stir in diced fruit such as strawberries or peaches before the final chill.
• Use flavored whipped cream (like vanilla or almond) for subtle added depth.
• Make individual parfaits by alternating layers of Jello cream and crushed cookies.
• Swap powdered sugar for honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.

Tips

• Make sure the Jello is only partially set before folding in the whipped cream; this gives the best fluffy texture.
• Fold gently to avoid deflating the whipped cream.
• Chill overnight for a firmer, sliceable texture.
• Serve in clear glasses to showcase layers or natural marbling.
• For a lighter option, use half whipped cream and half whipped topping.
