Ingredients
- 2 packages (3 oz each) Jell-O (any flavor)
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 2 cups Whipped topping
- 1 cup Crushed graham crackers
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Step 2
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish to create a firm crust. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the contents of the Jell-O packages in 4 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
Step 4
Stir in 2 cups of cold water. Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the mixture to cool for about 30-45 minutes, or until it starts to thicken but is not fully set.
Step 5
Take the thickened Jell-O and gently fold in the whipped topping, creating a light and airy layer.
Step 6
Pour the whipped Jell-O mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 8
Before serving, garnish with fresh fruit if desired, and optionally sprinkle additional crushed graham crackers on top for extra texture.
Step 9
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
