Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) flavored Jello (strawberry, raspberry, orange, or your choice)
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 cup crushed ice (or additional cold water)
- 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or Cool Whip)

Instructions
- Prepare Jello: In a large mixing bowl, dissolve Jello powder in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Cool down: Add ½ cup cold water and crushed ice. Stir until the ice melts and the mixture cools slightly.

- Chill: Pour into a serving dish, trifle bowl, or individual cups. Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours until set.
- Serve: Top with extra whipped cream and fresh fruit if desired.
Notes
- You can layer different Jello flavors for a colorful dessert.

- This dessert keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
