This happened by mistake today…. I was trying to do the jello pie but without crust, just in a dish. But…. This time rather than folding in the cool whip I used a whisk…. What I got took me back to my childhood and reminded me of jello 1-2-3, which I loved! But this Is more like jello 1-2 because there’s only 2 layers…..
I used 1 package sugar free store brand jello mix (raspberry) and about 1/4 tub of store brand cool whip. I used about 3/4 cup of boiling water then added about 1/2-3/4 of a cup of cold water. Poured in to a square dish and put in fridge for about an hour. Cooled for sure but not starting to set yet. Then whisk in the cool whip for about 2 min and put back in fridge for a few hours! That’s it…. Soooo yummy and a definite throwback for me!
Whisked Jello 1-2 Delight
Ingredients:
- 1 package (3 ounces) sugar-free raspberry Jello mix
- 1/4 tub (approximately 1 cup) store brand cool whip
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2-3/4 cup cold water
Instructions:
- Prepare the Jello Base:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar-free raspberry Jello mix with 3/4 cup of boiling water.
- Stir until the Jello mix is completely dissolved.
- Add Cold Water:
- Pour in 1/2-3/4 cup of cold water into the Jello mixture.
- Stir well to ensure the cold water is evenly incorporated.
- Initial Setting:
- Pour the Jello mixture into a square dish to form the first layer.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator and let it chill for about an hour. The Jello should be cooled but not fully set at this point.
- Whipping in the Nostalgia:
- Take the dish out of the refrigerator and, using a whisk, vigorously whisk in approximately 1 cup (or 1/4 tub) of store brand cool whip into the partially set Jello. Whisk for about 2 minutes to incorporate air and create a light, fluffy texture.
- Second Layer and Final Setting:
- Smooth the whipped Jello mixture evenly to create the second layer in the dish.
- Place the dish back in the refrigerator and let it set for a few more hours, allowing both layers to firm up.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once fully set, cut into squares or scoop out servings.
- Garnish with additional cool whip or fresh berries if desired.
- Nostalgia Unleashed:
- Enjoy this Whisked Jello 1-2 Delight, a delightful treat that takes you back to the fond memories of Jello 1-2-3 from your childhood.
Note: Adjust the cool whip quantity according to your preference for a creamier or lighter texture. Feel free to experiment with different Jello flavors for a variety of nostalgic experiences!
