| Qty |
Ingredient |
| 3 oz. |
Cream Cheese (softened) |
| 4 oz. |
Whipped topping |
| 3 Tbsp |
Liquid jello mixture |
Instructions:
-
Boil 3/4 cup water in pan, remove from heat and stir in jello until dissolved.
-
Put ice cubes in measuring cup. Add concentrate, cold water, or other juice to total one cup. Add to hot jello mixture and stir until ice is melted.
-
Take out 3 Tbsp mixture and set aside for topping. Do not put in a cold place, you want it to stay liquid.
-
Put remaining jello in bowl or casserole dish and refrigerate. If adding topping, let set only until "sticky".
-
Soften cream cheese and whip until creamy.
-
Gradually add reserved liquid jello until smooth.
-
Fold in whipped topping and spread on top of jello.
-
Hint: If jello is hard set, topping will not stick. I have warmed it with a hair dryer or warm spatula.
