Creamy JELL-O

JELL-O gelatin is something we all know and something we have all eaten at one time or another.  And while it was once branded as "America's Favorite Dessert", some of us have come to think of it as a little too plain and simplistic or we've forgotten about it all together.

Well no more!  JELL-O gelatin is very inexpensive and with the addition of one or two other ingredients you can transform into something tastefully elegant and simple - like Creamy JELL-O.

Creamy JELL-O can be made with any flavor and it uses only two (2) ingredients (not including water).  I made it for my kids this weekend with Island Pineapple flavored gelatin and they loved it.  It was a simple, inexpensive way for them to have something fun and delicious during these hot summer days.  

Ingredients:

          6oz of JELL-O gelatin mix

          8oz Cool Whip, thawed

          2 cups boiling water

          1/2 cup cold water

Directions:

          Empty gelatin mix into a large bowl, add 2 cups of boiling water and stir until dissolved.  Add 1/2 cup cold water then stir in cool whip.  Keep stirring until cool whip has "melted" into the gelatin (gelatin will become opaque).  Then pour mixture into an 8x8 pan or individual serving dishes.  Refrigerate for at least 4 hours - gelatin will separate into layers. Serve and enjoy.
