Starwberry Lime Jello Dream Dessert
From sparow64 14 years agoIngredients
- 1 large box strawberry jello (6 oz) shopping list
- 2 c boiling water shopping list
- juice and zest of one lime shopping list
- juice of another lime shopping list
- ice cold water shopping list
- 10 oz frozen sliced strawberries in syrup; thawed shopping list
- (OR slice fresh strawberries, sprnkle with 3 T sugar, and sit in fridge 12-24 hours to make some syrup) shopping list
- 1 package Dream Whip shopping list
- 1/2 c cold 2% milk shopping list
- 1/2 t vanilla shopping list
- (OR 1 c Cool Whip, OR Whip your own cream to make 1 c - I like Dream Whip in these type recipes for the cinsistency and ease) shopping list
How to make it
- Allow frozen strawberries to thaw
- Dissolve Jello in 2 c boiling water
- Zest one lime, reserve the zest
- Squeeze two limes into 2 c measuring cup
- Add 2 t of the liquid from strawberries
- Add enough icy cold water to make 1 3/4 c liquid
- Stir into jello
- Allow to chill 2-3 hours, until thick but not quite set
- Drain strawberries, and reserve syrup for use as ice cream topping, etc.
- Prepare Dream Whip according to package directions
- Fold drained strawberries, lime zest and prepared Dream Whip into jello, and chill for another hour
- **NOTES**
- I always cut back on the cold water when adding fruit to jello, this allows it to set a little better, without being "soupy"
- Dream Whip can be found on the aisle with the jello and pudding mixes, I use it in recipes like this because I think it holds up better than cool whip (that may be because my Mom always told me that...she was never a cool whip fan...LOL).
