| My lickity-split and delicious fruity jello layered dessert now has a much-less chilling time to under 30 minutes. This process used to take 2 hours for the 1st layer, then overnight for the second in the refrigerator...Whew. This newly created quicker method I've just devised has truly made my day! |
Servings: (8 to 10)
Prep: 15 Mins.
Chilling: 25 Mins.
INGREDIENTS
2 (small 3 oz pkgs) strawberry jello
1 cup boiling water
1 (16 oz pkg) frozen whole strawberries, thawed, drained
(reserve juice) then cut into quarters
1 (8 oz can) pineapple tidbits-or crushed, drained (reserve
juice)
3 slightly ripe bananas, quartered lengthwise and diced
1/4 cup pecans, finely chopped, (optional)
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (more or less to your desired
sweetness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
METHOD
In a medium bowl, dissolve gelatin in water. Stir in
strawberries, pineapple, bananas, and pecans. Add 1/2 cup of reserved
strawberry-pineapple juice. Mix to combine. Pour half of the mixture (about 2
cups) into an 8x8" glass square baking dish. Place level in freezer,
uncovered, to quickly chill for 15 minutes, until set. (Do not freeze!)
Set the reserved gelatin mixture aside, at room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the sour cream, confectioners' sugar, and
vanilla to fully combine. Carefully spread this mixture
over chilled gelatin. Gently spoon reserved gelatin mixture over top to evenly
distribute.
Chill dessert placed level in freezer, uncovered, for a
final 10 minutes (no longer or dessert will freeze). Transfer chilled dessert, covered, to refrigerator until ready to serve with or without fresh whipped cream. ~
Enjoy!

Tip: After dessert has set and you've placed it in the refrigerator to keep chilled, if doing
so longer than 30 minutes be sure to cover with plastic wrap until ready to
serve.
