Strawberry Jello Cake (Only 3 Ingredients)
Description
The recipe starts by dissolving a large portion of strawberry gelatin powder in boiling and cold water, then chilling until slightly set. Whipped topping is folded gently into the partially set gelatin, creating a light cream layer that is spread into a pan lined with fresh strawberry halves along the rim. After chilling to set, a thinner gelatin layer is prepared and poured on top, then allowed to fully firm in the fridge.
This process creates a layered gelatin dessert with complementary textures: the creamy, smooth middle contrasts with the firm jello top. The fresh strawberries framing the cake add visual appeal and fresh fruit flavor. The cake remains refrigerated until serving to retain its structure and refreshing character.
Ingredients
- 8 oz whipped topping Cool Whip or True Whip brand
- 9 oz strawberry gelatin mix
- 1 lb strawberry fresh
Instructions
- Place 6 ounces of jello mix in a large bowl. Stir in one cup of hot boiling water, followed by one cup of cold water.
- Stir everything until all jello mix is melted. Place the mixture into refrigerator and let the jello set slightly.
- Mix the Cool Whip into the Jello. Stir to combine until smooth and creamy.
- Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray and transfer the cool whip mixture into the pan. Cut the strawberries in half and place them along the rim of the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.
- Combine 1 cup of boiled water with 3 ounces of Jello. Place the mixture in the fridge until it cools down to room temperature.
- Pour the Jello mixture over the Cool Whip mixture and allow it to set completely in the fridge.
- Remove the cake from the springform pan. Keep it refrigerated until it's ready to serve. Enjoy!
