Ingredients

• 6 oz flavored gelatin (Jell-O)
• 2 cups boiling water
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
• 1 cup miniature marshmallows (optional)
• 1 cup drained canned fruit (e.g., pineapple tidbits or mandarin oranges, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the flavored gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 2

Add 1 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine. Let the mixture cool for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and whipped topping until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Once the gelatin mixture has cooled but not yet set, gently fold it into the sour cream and whipped topping mixture. Stir until fully integrated.

Step 5

If using miniature marshmallows or canned fruit, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into a large serving dish, individual dessert cups, or a gelatin mold. Smooth the top with a spatula if needed.

Step 7

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.

Step 8

Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional whipped topping or a few pieces of fruit for presentation.
