Ingredients
- 3 oz JELL-O mix (flavor of choice)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1.5 cups Fresh fruit (strawberries, kiwi, or berries)
- 1 cup Whipped topping
- 1 cup Vanilla wafer cookies
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 tbsp Sugar (optional for cookie crust)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the JELL-O according to the package instructions: Dissolve the JELL-O mix in 1 cup of boiling water, then stir in 1 cup of cold water. Mix well until completely dissolved.
Step 2
Pour the prepared JELL-O into a shallow baking dish or serving dish, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until partially set but still slightly jiggly.
Step 3
While the JELL-O is setting, prepare the cookie crumble crust. Crush the vanilla wafer cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Step 4
Combine the cookie crumbs with melted butter (and sugar, if desired) in a small bowl. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened with butter, resembling wet sand.
Step 5
Spread the cookie mixture evenly on the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert cups, pressing it down lightly to form a compact crust.
Step 6
Once the JELL-O is semi-set, gently fold in the fresh fruit pieces. Stir to evenly distribute the fruit within the JELL-O mixture.
Step 7
Spoon the fruit-filled JELL-O mixture over the cookie crumble crust, spreading it evenly.
Step 8
Top the JELL-O layer with whipped topping, spreading it smoothly with a spatula.
Step 9
Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 2 more hours, or until fully set and chilled.
Step 10
Before serving, garnish with additional fresh fruit or crumbled cookies if desired. Serve cold and enjoy!
