Hi and welcome to our website!!
Our recipe today is an old fashioned one my mom and aunt Clara would make years ago.
Only three ingredient's but the method to this recipe is what's so lovely...My mom said she called it whipped jello and Aunt Clara calls it jello mousse....who is right and who is wrong!!!
Whisk the hot water into the jello crystals until all combined.
Then put in the fridge for about one hour or until partly sat!!
Only three simple ingredient's to a delicious dessert.
I hope you are excited to make this old fashioned jello mousse, sometimes the simples of ingredient's makes the nice's desserts!! Food brings back memories spent with love ones from yours ago...

Instructions
First boil your water for hot water to use in this dessert!
After in a medium bowl, add package of jello, then top with one and half cups of HOT water. Mix until jello have dissolved.
Then place in the fridge for about one hour or until partially set!!
Then remove from fridge and add half cup of fresh cold milk.
Then with a hand whisk or blender, mix until foamy or about three minutes or so.
Pour into small dessert serving cups or bowl, then return to the fridge until it fully sets into a light, fruity mousse.
Serve with fresh or frozen fruit, thick or whipped cream.
Please note! This recipe was made back in the day when families had their meals to the table and had only a few simple ingredient’s to make fancy desserts and meals. My mom would call it rough grub!!
Bonita’s Tips:
Boil water first or microwave it for one minute or so before using.
Using fancy serving dessert bowls makes this dessert twice as good.
Whip with milk or cream will work great!!

Jello mousse or whipped jello is the recipe my Mom and Aunt Clara said this was, it don’t matter what it’s called it takes me back to my childhood of simpler days and time spent with love ones.
Frozen berries is a great way to have seasonal berries available to use and enjoy when needed. I just buy some on mark down and freeze them. Plus we pick blueberries in the fall and my sisters raspberries and my strawberries from our gardens.
These glass smoky bowls are Raymond’s Moms dessert bowls she bought at a local store back in the 1960″s so it looks nice to see them with a retro jello dessert in them to bring back fond memories for Raymond of his Mom.
Thank you for stopping by and On behalf of myself, RMHussey Productions and Team….and from our kitchen to yours!!
Have a wonderful day!!

Yum! When I was a kid, my mom would make whipped Jello too! When it was partially set, she would beat it with the electric mixer. Or if she didn’t have one as yet, the hand held, stand it up in the bowl, hand crank one. 😄
Then she would add fruit cocktail and mini marshmallows! Oh boy, that was delicious!
Thank you Bonita and Raymond for this wonderful recipe. So simple but tasty. I like hearing the stories from your childhood too. On holidays we always had to have a Jello salad with fruit cocktail. Grandma would make a simple dressing with half mayonnaise, half sour cream. Then add a little powdered sugar and nutmeg. Oh my.
