Ingredients

• 3 oz JELL-O mix (flavor of choice)
• 1 cup Boiling water
• 1 cup Cold water
• 1.5 cups Fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwi, or berries)
• 1 cup Whipped topping
• 1 cup Vanilla wafer cookies
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp Sugar (optional for cookie crust)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the JELL-O according to the package instructions: Dissolve the JELL-O mix in 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in 1 cup of cold water. Mix well until completely dissolved.

Step 2

Pour the prepared JELL-O into a shallow baking dish or serving dish, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until partially set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 3

While the JELL-O is setting, prepare the cookie crumble crust. Crush the vanilla wafer cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin.

Step 4

Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter (and sugar, if desired) in a small bowl. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened with butter, resembling wet sand.

Step 5

Spread the cookie mixture evenly on the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert cups, pressing it down lightly to form a compact crust.

Step 6

Once the JELL-O is semi-set, gently fold in the fresh fruit pieces. Stir to evenly distribute the fruit within the JELL-O mixture.

Step 7

Spoon the fruit-filled JELL-O mixture over the cookie crumble crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Top the JELL-O layer with whipped topping, spreading it smoothly with a spatula.

Step 9

Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 2 more hours, or until fully set and chilled.

Step 10

Before serving, garnish with additional fresh fruit or crumbled cookies if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
