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
- Prep: Ensure Cool Whip is completely thawed in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours so it is soft and easy to fold.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
