Springtime Jello Clouds


Spring is indeed in the air!!! The weather's getting warmer, the snows begun to rapidly melt, the ice in out back is officially beginning to turn back to water, and the bikes, scooters, and strollers have been making their way around the neighborhood again. This excites me!!! And my kids!!! We've already gone on several walks and bike rides, and cannot wait to enjoy this spring and summer.

This Jello is, well, Jello. Nothing too special except for the fact that it's pastel, creamy, and reminscent of spring. It's an easy Easter thing to make with/for the kids too. Add the Cool Whip to any color Jello and you have a creamy dreamy Light Colored treat.

So today, Ava didn't have school and we decided to make a fun and easy springtime treat.

Springtime Jello Clouds


1 large pkg. of blue Jello
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
1 12oz container of Cool Whip
Fresh Whipped Cream

1. Stir together Jello and boiling water until Jello is disolved.

2. Stir in cold water.

3. Cool for about 1 hour or until slightly chilled.

4. Add Cool Whip to Jello and, using a hand held blender, blend together. This will make the Jello more of a frothy creamy treat than a Jello.

5. Pour into individual cups and refrigerate until set.

6. Top with whipped cream. ( I like to make it using heavy cream and a few Tbsp of powdered sugar. Add in a dash of vanilla and it's great.)
