WHAT YOU NEED-

You can use regular cool whip, light or extra creamy cool whip. Sour cream– Classic sour cream or light sour cream for the creamy layer of the jello cake. Water– Water is the activator for gelatin. Strawberries- You want to use fresh sliced or chopped strawberries. You can also use frozen sliced strawberries. 

HOW TO MAKE JELLO CAKE RECIPE-

You won’t believe how simple it is to whip up this recipe! With just 5 simple ingredients and about 20 minutes, this jello cake can be ready and cooled in the fridge! 

Make jello for creamy layer– In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and mix in the gelatin, stir until well combined. Cool completely. Make creamy layer- With a mixer, beat together the sour cream and cool whip. Add in the cooled gelatin and mix until well combined. (Tip: Make sure the gelatin is completely cooled.) Jello layer– Prepare the Jello for the top layer and set aside to cool. Cut strawberries- Slice or cube the strawberries. Assemble– Add the creamy layer into a 9”x13” baking dish and level out with a spatula. Add to the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to allow the jello mixture to become solid. Top layer- Add the strawberries and gently pour the cooled strawberry jello over the creamy layer and strawberries. Cool jello- Allow to sit in the fridge until the jello becomes firm. 

Can I make this a different flavor? 

Yes, you can make this any flavor you like! Just change the gelatin flavor and the fresh fruit! Here are some other favorite flavors of this layered jello dessert: 

Peach– We like to use peach gelatin and then add canned peaches for the fruit layer, just drain the water or use fresh peaches. Raspberry– Raspberry flavoring with fresh raspberries is a family favorite! Mixed Berry– You can do the mixed berry gelatin or one of the berry flavors and then for the fruit layer add mixed fruits! Orange– We also love doing orange gelatin and then canned tangerines, make sure to drain water!
