Ingredients
- 6 oz Strawberry Jell-O
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 2 large Banana
- 8 oz Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (optional, for topping)
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O powder in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until fully dissolved.
Step 2
Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jell-O mixture and stir to combine.
Step 3
Slice the bananas into thin rounds and gently fold them into the Jell-O mixture.
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch dish or a large serving bowl. Place it in the refrigerator to chill for about 1 to 2 hours, or until partially set (the texture should be thickened but not firm).
Step 5
Once the Jell-O is partially set, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top. Use a spatula to smooth it out.
Step 6
Optional: Slice fresh strawberries and arrange them decoratively on top of the whipped topping. Sprinkle chopped nuts over the top for added texture and flavor.
Step 7
Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 2 to 3 hours, or until fully set.
Step 8
Serve cold and enjoy this delightful, fruity treat!
