JELLO WHIP FROSTING
I'm a big fan of using Jello Instant Pudding and Cool Whip as a frosting for cupcakes, so I assumed there must be a typically-used fruity Instant Jello equivalent. Long story short, there was not. I put this together using some of the bits and pieces of recipes I could find, and some spur-of-the-moment thinking when I thought it was going to go all wrong. My first attempt was using raspberry flavour on chocolate cupcakes, but experiment with different flavours and see what you like best!

Steps:
- Make jello as directed on package except using 3/4 cup boiling water instead of 1 cup so the jello is a little thicker.
- After jello is set, beat with mixer until there are small pieces. Add cool whip and beat until completely mixed. Spread on angel food cake. Keep refrigerated until time to serve.
EASY STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH COOL WHIP
Steps:
- Boil one cup water on stove top, and mix into bowl with jello powder in mixing bowl. Add in one cup cold water and stir. Chill jello, preferably in a shallow pan, for about 45 minutes or until it is completely cool, just starting to set. Pour the jello into a large mixing bowl. Mix the jello up vigorously, for about one minute. Using an electric mixer is great for this step. But watch out it splashes. This breaks up any jello bits that have started to set, and adds air to the mix. Then fold in the Cool Whip and then strawberries. Mix completely, but be gentle and don't deflate the mix by stirring too aggressively. If you want to add in mini marshmallows, do it now. Add them in about 1/2 cup at a time to make sure you don't overdo it. Transfer to a 9×13 pan for serving, or into individual dishes if you prefer. You can top with whipped cream and sliced strawberries if you prefer. If you want to dress up this dish, spread a spoonful of strawberry jam in the bottom of a glass dessert dish or shallow glass. Then add the salad mix. After the dish has chilled, dollop with some fresh whipped cream and a slice of strawberry.

Tips:
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment to whip the Cool Whip until stiff peaks form. This will help to incorporate air into the frosting and make it light and fluffy.
- Use Jell-O that is the same flavor as the cake or cupcakes you are frosting. This will help to create a cohesive flavor profile.
- If you are using a sugar-free Jell-O mix, be sure to add a little bit of sugar to the frosting to taste. This will help to balance out the tartness of the Jell-O.
- You can use any type of milk in this frosting, but whole milk will give it a richer flavor.
- If you want a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar. If you want a thinner frosting, you can add more milk.
- This frosting can be used to frost cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and even fruit.
Conclusion:
Jell-O and Cool Whip frosting is a light, fluffy, and flavorful frosting that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are using a sugar-free Jell-O mix or a regular Jell-O mix, this frosting is sure to be a hit.
