How to Make Fruity Jello Cool Whip

  1. Boil 3 cups of water in a saucepan.
  2. In a large bowl, empty the contents of four (3 oz) boxes of Jell-O into a large bowl.
  3. Gradually pour the boiling water into the Jell-O powder, stirring constantly until completely dissolved. Add 2 cups of cold water and stir.
  4. Add 2 cups of ice to the Jell-O mixture. Stir until the Jell-O begins to thicken slightly.
  5. Quickly add one (8 oz) container of Cool Whip and gently fold it into the Jell-O mixture until combined. Add the second (8 oz) container of Cool Whip and mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups of your drained, chopped fruit of choice (e.g., mandarin oranges, maraschino cherries, strawberries, blueberries).
  7. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch dish or individual serving dishes.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
