Expert Tips
- It's important to give the Jello enough time to chill and set properly before adding the whipped cream and fruit.
- Using fresh strawberries and blueberries will give your dessert a more vibrant color and flavor than using frozen fruit.
- Make sure to chill the dessert in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until you're ready to serve. This will help the whipped cream set.
Variations
- Mixed Berry: Instead of using just strawberries and blueberries, you could mix things up with a variety of fresh berries, like raspberries, blackberries, and even sliced kiwi.
- Pudding Cups: If you're not a fan of Jello, you could make a similar dessert using sugar-free pudding. Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit.
Storing
Cover the Jello tightly with plastic wrap or a lid to prevent it from drying out. Place the dessert in the refrigerator to keep it cool and firm. If you're storing the dessert for a few days, it's a good idea to add fresh fruit just before serving.
