Ingredients
1 (3 oz) package strawberry or raspberry Jell-O
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium bowl, dissolve the Jell-O powder in boiling water, stirring for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
Stir in the cold water. Pour the mixture into four serving glasses or a single dish. Refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or overnight.
In a chilled bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.
Spoon or pipe the whipped cream over the set jelly. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips
For a layered effect, let the jelly set partially before adding a layer of whipped cream and then more jelly.
Use any flavor of Jell-O you like, or try sugar-free for a lighter option.
Garnish with fresh berries or mint leaves for extra color.
