Sweet and Simple: Strawberry Jello Salad Dessert Recipe

If you’re on the hunt for a delightful, crowd-pleasing dessert, look no further than the classic Strawberry Jello Salad. This dessert combines the nostalgic flavors of strawberry gelatin with the creamy texture of whipped topping, creating a dish that feels both homey and luxurious. With its vibrant colors and refreshing taste, this Jello salad is perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or simply as a family treat. Plus, it’s incredibly easy to prepare, making it a go-to option for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs alike.

Ingredients

To create this dreamy dessert, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 2 boxes (3 ounces each) strawberry Jello: This is the base of our dessert, providing both flavor and that iconic jiggly texture.
  • 2 envelopes Dream Whip: A non-dairy whipped topping mix that adds creaminess and body to the dish.
  • ¾ cup milk: Used to prepare the Dream Whip, giving it a rich and smooth consistency.
  • 2 bananas, peeled and sliced: They add a natural sweetness and balance to the tangy Jello.
  • 2 cups hulled and chopped strawberries: Fresh strawberries enhance the fruitiness and add texture to the salad.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Jello

  1. Dissolve the Jello: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the two boxes of strawberry Jello with two cups of hot water. Whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  2. Add Cold Water: Pour in one cup of cold water and whisk again to ensure everything is well combined.
  3. Chill Until Firm: Place the mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to set until firm. This usually takes a few hours, so it’s perfect to prepare ahead of time.

Step 2: Assemble the Base

  1. Line the Dish: Once the Jello is set, arrange the banana slices along the bottom of a 2-quart (8×12) baking dish. This will serve as the base and add a layer of fruity goodness.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Layer

  1. Whip the Dream Whip: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the milk and two envelopes of Dream Whip using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Continue beating until the mixture is stiff and peaks form.
  2. Incorporate the Jello: Add the firm Jello to the whipped topping and beat until well combined and fluffy. The mixture should be light and airy with a lovely pink hue.
  3. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 4: Combine and Chill

  1. Pour into Pan: Carefully pour the whipped Jello mixture over the banana slices in the baking dish. Use a spatula to level the top for an even finish.
  2. Refrigerate: Allow the dessert to chill in the refrigerator for three to four hours, or until fully set.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Garnish and Slice: Optionally, garnish the top with additional fresh strawberries for an extra touch of elegance.
  2. Serve: Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
