Description

This Strawberry Cool Whip Dessert is a light and fluffy no-bake treat combining sweet strawberry gelatin with creamy Cool Whip for a refreshing and easy-to-make dessert. Perfect for parties or a quick sweet fix, it requires minimal prep and no cooking.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 package (3 oz) strawberry gelatin powder
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 containers (8 oz each) Cool Whip


Instructions

  1. Prep: Ensure Cool Whip is completely thawed in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so it is soft and easy to fold.
  2. Dissolve: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry gelatin powder, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth with no lumps.
  3. Combine: Gently fold the gelatin mixture into the thawed Cool Whip using an electric mixer. Continue mixing until the mixture becomes fluffy and uniformly combined.
  4. Finish: Use the dessert immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. The dessert holds its shape well for several hours, making it ideal for serving ahead of time.

Notes

  • Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed before mixing to achieve the best texture.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be garnished with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for added flavor and presentation.
  • For a lower sugar version, you may substitute the powdered sugar with a sugar substitute suitable for desserts.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days.
