Fruity Jello-Cool Whip

Sarah in New York's Note:

My mom makes this every summer! It's low fat and very refreshing. You can make so many different flavors, people never get sick of it. It is one of the most requested desserts that I make. Combination examples:. Orange jello & Mandarine oranges. Cherry jello & Maracino cherries. Strawberry jello & Chopped strawberries. Blueberry jello & Blueberries. (You get the picture! Endless possibilities.).

This was great ~ I used orange jello and oranges as well, and we just loved the fresh flavor. This is an easy recipe to put together and the kids love it! Thanks Sarah, for bringing back some memories :) Made for POTLUCK TAG, March 2009.
