Ingredients

  • 4 oz packages of Jello red and pink colored
  • oz extra creamy Cool Whip
  • Whipped Cream optional topping
  • fresh berries optional garnish
  • Sprinkles optional garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make one package Jello according to directions on box, typically combining packet with one cup boiling water and one cup cold water.
  2. Divide the Jello between four cups and place it in the fridge to set, about an hour.
  3. Make another package of Jello according to the instructions on the box. Once you’ve combined the jello with the water, fold in eight ounces of the cool whip until it’s nice and creamy. Then once the first layer is set, divide your second jello mixture into four and pour it over the first layer and let it set – another hour or so.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 again to create layers 3 and 4. Layer 3 will be plain jello and layer 4 will be jello mixed with Cool Whip.
  5. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, and sprinkles.

Notes

  • Make the Jello cups up to 24 hours in advance, other than the whipped cream and garnishes. Keep them in the fridge until ready to serve and garnish right before serving.
  • Shorten the amount of time it takes to make these by doing less layers. Do just two or three thicker layers instead of the four the recipe calls for. You’ll still get the same great flavor, just a little different look.
  • Remove fruit on top, wrap the tops in plastic wrap, then refrigerate any leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. Re-garnish when you’re ready to enjoy again.
