Servings: 20 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- Strawberry Jello
- Berry Blue Jello
- Water
- Cool whip
- Blueberries
- Strawberries chopped
Instructions
- For each packet of jello, prepare as directed on the box, using boiling water and cold water. You can easily double this recipe - for example if you only wanted to use strawberry jello, you can prepare both boxes of jello at one time in the small bowl, just double the amount of water added.Strawberry Jello, Berry Blue Jello, Water
- Pour the jello powder into a mixing bowl. Add in the boiling water called for on the back of the box, and stir for 1-2 to dissolve the mixture. Add in the cold water called for on the back of the box, and stir to combine. Evenly divide the jello mixture among the glasses or cups. I chose to fill my glasses halfway full. If you’re using strawberry jello, place chopped strawberry pieces in each glass. If you’re using berry blue jello, place blueberries in each glass. I used 5.3 oz glasses.
- Place the glasses in the refrigerator to set.
- Before serving, place cool whip in a piping bag fit with a piping tip (I used wilton 2D). Pipe a layer of cool whip on top of the jello. Top each jello cup with either chopped strawberries or blueberries.Cool whip, Blueberries, Strawberries

Notes
How thick you make the layers will determine how many boxes of jello you'll need. I used Libbey Just Desserts Bowls.
