Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) raspberry Jell-O
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, empty the entire 3 oz package of raspberry Jell-O powder.
- Carefully pour 1 cup of boiling water over the Jell-O powder, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until the powder is completely dissolved.
- Add 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved Jell-O mixture, stirring gently to combine and help cool the mixture.
- Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the Jell-O to partially set for approximately 30-45 minutes, until it reaches a slightly thickened but not fully solid consistency.
- Once the Jell-O is partially set, fold in 1 cup of whipped topping, stirring gently to create a light and fluffy texture.
- Carefully fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the Jell-O salad to a serving bowl or individual dessert dishes.
- Refrigerate for an additional 2-3 hours or until the salad is completely set and chilled.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with additional fresh raspberries or a dollop of whipped topping.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your boiling water is truly hot when dissolving the Jell-O to guarantee complete powder dissolution.
- Patience is Key: When partially setting the Jell-O, watch the consistency carefully. You want it thick but not completely solid - this ensures the perfect fluffy texture.
- Gentle Folding Technique: When adding whipped topping and raspberries, use a light folding motion to maintain the airiness of the dessert.
- Fresh is Best: Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the most vibrant flavor and color.
- Chill Time: Allow sufficient refrigeration time to let the salad set completely and develop its full flavor profile.
- Make-Ahead Magic: This dessert can be prepared a day in advance, making it perfect for stress-free entertaining.
