Ingredients
Scale
Jello Layers
- 1 cup boiling water (per each flavor)
- 1 (3 oz) box Jello mix (your favorite flavors, multiple boxes depending on number of layers)
- 1 cup cold water (per each flavor)
Sherbet Mixture
- 2 cups sherbet (store-bought or homemade, softened)
- 1 cup light whipped topping
Instructions
- Dissolve Jello Mixes: In a medium bowl, dissolve each flavor of Jello mix in 1 cup of boiling water until fully blended and the powder has completely dissolved.
- Cool Jello Mixtures: Stir in 1 cup of cold water for each flavor to cool the mixture and ensure the gelatin sets properly.
- Set Jello Layers: Pour the different flavored Jello mixtures into a shallow dish or ice cube tray in layers and refrigerate for about 4 hours until the layers are firm and set.
- Combine with Sherbet and Topping: Cut the set Jello layers into cubes and combine them with softened sherbet and light whipped topping in a mixing bowl. Stir gently until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Freeze the Mixture: Transfer the combined mixture to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours or until solidified and scoopable like ice cream.
Notes
- Use different Jello flavors to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
- Make sure the sherbet is softened for easier mixing.
- This dessert is best served after freezing for at least 2 hours to achieve the ideal texture.
- For a smoother texture, gently fold rather than vigorously stir when combining ingredients.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 days.
