Ingredients

• 6 oz Strawberry-flavored gelatin powder
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1.5 cups Cold water
• 0.5 cups Ice cubes
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
• 2 Ripe bananas (sliced)
• 1 cup Whipped topping or whipped cream

Directions

Step 1

In a large heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry-flavored gelatin powder in 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved (about 2 minutes).

Step 2

Add 1.5 cups of cold water and 0.5 cups of ice cubes to the gelatin mixture. Stir gently until the ice cubes have melted and the mixture begins to cool slightly.

Step 3

Pour about 3/4 of the gelatin mixture into a decorative mold or a medium-sized bowl. Reserve the remaining gelatin mixture for later use and set aside at room temperature.

Step 4

Refrigerate the mold for approximately 45 minutes or until the gelatin is lightly set but not fully firm (it should hold its shape when touched).

Step 5

Arrange the sliced strawberries and banana slices over the lightly set gelatin in the mold, ensuring even distribution for a pretty presentation.

Step 6

Carefully pour the reserved gelatin mixture over the fruit to cover it completely. This helps secure the fruit in the mold.

Step 7

Refrigerate the mold for at least 4 hours or until fully firm. You can also refrigerate it overnight for best results.

Step 8

When ready to serve, gently loosen the edges of the mold using a butter knife or spatula. Invert the mold onto a serving platter, giving it a gentle shake to release the gelatin.

Step 9

Garnish with additional whipped topping or whipped cream if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
