I wil have to try adding the coconut extract next time. It's good but I does need a little something.

Thanks Linda, I was using small glass bowls. I made it again tonight. Same result. Oh well, it's still yummy.

By the way Linda, your website has been really helpful. I jump back and forth between yours and here for inspiration and ideas. Thanks!

Thanks Honeybuns!

So far the record, I loved the creamy layer so much I decided to try the recipe with 1 cup HWC instead of 1/2 HWC and 1/2 cold water. It was tasty, but too much of a good thing. The original recipe is better. The separated jello makes the creamy part taste more special.

I made this last week. The first time I made the Raspberry flavor and used a small whisk (a small heavy coil type) to blend the hot & cold water in the Jello and also used it to add the HW Cream. I guess I whisked it too much. No separation.

The second time I made Orange flavor and only whisked the hot & cold water into the Jello and when I added the HW Cream, I just stirred it with a large tablespoon a few times. Nice separation!

I made half of the recipe for portion control.

Thanks for this wonderful recipe.

I've made this a couple of times using raspberry and orange and the addition of the 1 tsp of coconut extract plus some sweeteners to the whipping cream made a great improvement. I added the 1 tsp of Superior Flavors Coconutti, 1 snort of stevia and 10-12 drops liquid splenda.

It is great even my husband likes it and he's never been a big fan of jello. I've always liked this recipe but it seemed to lack something but with those additions it tastes wonderful.

I'm going to work on a banana flavored one.

Looks Yummy!!

alonewithyou · 01-10-2013, 12:40 PM

I am making this now and am wondering if I need too cool the jello?

rosethorns · 01-10-2013, 12:48 PM

Your Avatar is great. Is that you?

No you don't need to cool jello . Mix it all together. Good luck.

alonewithyou · 01-10-2013, 01:51 PM

Yes that's me. Thank you! My face is a bit puffier/fattier now though

I just dumped it in. It's sitting in the fridge in 4 containers with lids. It's lemon and lime, so it's very green! It separated quite quickly. I checked it after an hour.

rosethorns · 01-10-2013, 03:55 PM

Beautiful pic!!!! It taste really great .

I remember the 1-2-3 jello dessert, I used to make it once in a while... except I used cool whip. You use a blender and it came out perfect, every time. Just google jello 1-2-3 dessert to see the pics! So I wonder if you just sub the cream (for the cool whip) and use a blender, if that is the trick. Because that's how I always did it, sooo easy and perfect every time!

What You Need
3/4
cup boiling water
1
pkg. (0.3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Sugar Free Gelatin, or any flavor
Ice cubes
1/2
cup cold water
1/2
cup thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping
Make It

ADD boiling water to gelatin mix iin medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour into blender. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1-1/4 cups; add to blender. Blend 30 sec. or until smooth.

ADD COOL WHIP; blend well.

POUR into 4 dessert dishes. Refrigerate 20 min. or until firm.

lc-chica · 01-10-2013, 04:22 PM

So I just realized the recipe I posted above is practically identical to the OP except the original was doubled. so I think the key is the blender! works every time

can't wait to try it out again! I kind of remember thinking "don't over blend" like that was key or something, but it's not mentioned in the recipe so hmm.

SCOTTSDALEJULIE · 01-12-2013, 11:32 AM

Yum, this seems so light and tasty. Going to make it tomorrow

Deb · 01-14-2013, 05:06 PM

bump

really

shelby'snana · 01-14-2013, 06:40 PM

I just made it using SF strawberry ! DH saw me and said " what in the world are you pouring in there ?" HWC silly !

Melrose · 01-22-2013, 12:58 PM

I made this over the weekend and it was wonderful. I made it with raspberry sugar free and it separated.

I was so proud of how pretty it looked and attempted to show my daughter who when I told her it was jello she prompted replied "gross" and would not look. She doesn't like jello.

I ate the entire thing. I loved the cream layer and then even the jello portion tasted slightly different too.

I must try the orange now.

Thank you for posting this recipe.

pocahontas · 04-09-2013, 08:38 PM

Just made this with Cherry jello. The layers did separate for me, one pink and one red.
