Buttermilk Jello
Light, fluffy texture that is not overpowering sweet but just right with a fresh fruit that adds the extra boost of flavor. I absolutely love making this dessert for any or every gathering whether it is poured into one big dish or in individual serving cups. Why do I love making it so much? Because, what’s easier than easy? It takes a few minutes to put together and it looks like I spent a whole lot of time on it. It makes people come back to the table for seconds and thirds. It’s THAT good! Oh and did I mention it takes only 3 ingredients to put together? with a fruit of choice as a bonus of course.☺️ Try it once and you’ll always keep making it too.
Ingredients:
16oz Plain Buttermilk
16oz Original Cool Whip
6oz Strawberry Jello
Instructions:
1.Dissolve 1 packet (6oz) jello in 1 cup of hot water, then add 1 cup of cold water (Do Not follow Jello package instructions for this recipe) and let it cool until you have a slushy mess. It should not be liquid anymore and it shouldn’t be completely set.. just until it starts to come together.
TIP: Use 1 cup of ice instead of cold water to speed up the setting process.
2.Meanwhile, while your Jello is setting, add buttermilk and cool whip to your stand mixer all at once and whip on low at first until it comes together then bring up the speed to medium/high until you have a foamy consistency.
3.Once the jello is slushy, with the mixer on low, pour the jello in gradually, then bring up the speed to high until it all becomes one. The consistency should look foamy.
4.Now work quickly because it will set very fast. Transfer the jello into a dish or into individual serving cups and decorate with your favorite berries.
5.Now Refrigerate! It is ready to serve once everything has completely set.
ENJOY!

Does the cool whip need to be thawed?
alenashomecooking
It is better when it’s thawed, it will incorporate better and faster. You could use frozen but it will take longer to incorporate, the mixture will be colder and will set faster.

Love this jello recipe! Made it for lots of my guests, and so easy to make for a wedding. I have been asked for the recipe and just keep passing it on 🙂

Hi. How do you make sure there are no little jello pieces ? It looked like it was fully dissolved but then when I mixed it together there are little specs.

Perhaps the jello overset. It is best to add the jello just as soon as it begins to set

How much does this recipe serve if making it in individual cups?
alenashomecooking
It really depends what size cups you use. If you’re using cups size between 4-6oz you can probably get between 30-50cups, also depending how much you fill.

Hello, I want to make it in a glass baking dish I believe its 9×13? Basic Pyrex dish size. Will this amount be enough? Also can I make it on Friday and eat it on Sunday evening?

Hi, yes you can make it 2 days in advance. I’ve never made it into a 9×13 pan but I think it’ll be enough.
