Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the base
  • 1 box large box lemon Jell-O (6 oz)
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 package cook & serve lemon pie filling mix
For the topping
  • 1 tub Cool Whip (8 oz), thawed
  • to taste Whipped cream (optional, for garnish)
  • to taste Fresh lemon slices (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Dissolve the lemon Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water in a large mixing bowl. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Refrigerate until slightly thickened but not fully set (about 30–40 minutes).
  3. While the Jell-O is chilling, cook the lemon pie filling according to the package directions. Cool completely with plastic wrap on the surface to prevent skin.
Mixing
  1. Gently fold the cooled pie filling into the thickened Jell-O until well blended and smooth.
  2. Add the Cool Whip and fold gently to maintain the fluffy texture.
Setting
  1. Spoon the mixture into a large bowl or individual cups. Chill for at least 1 hour until fully set.
Serving
  1. Serve chilled in a pretty glass bowl or in individual coupe glasses for a refined touch.
  2. Top each portion with a small rosette of whipped cream and a thin lemon wheel or a twist of lemon zest for aroma.

Notes

Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze; freezing will break the light, airy structure.
