Ingredients
- 3 boxes Strawberry Jello 3 ounces each
- 3 Cups Cold Water divided
- 3 Cups Boiling Water divided
- Cool Whip 16 oz, divided
- 2 Cups Strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries. Wash, dry and slice. Set aside.
- Place (8) 9 ounce plastic cups slanted in a muffin tin. You will need to place something under the cups so they remain tilted. I like to use a ball of aluminum foil but you can use anything you have.
- Boil 2 cups of water and remove from the heat. Stir in 2 boxes of Jello. Add 2 cups of cold water into the mixture.
- Pour the jello into the cups until they are approximately 2/3 full.
- Drop 4-5 strawberry slices into the jello before it sets.
- Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator to set for at least 3 hours.
- Boil 1 cup of water. Remove from heat and mix in the last box of jello.
- Then add 1 cup of cold water and stir. Allow the mixture to cool but you do not want it to fully set.
- Once cool, mix in 8 ounces of the Cool Whip. Stir until combined.
- Sit the cups upright. Divide the strawberry mousse layer into each cup.
- Refrigerate until the top layer has fully set. This should take about 1 hour.
- When ready to serve, use the remaining whipped cream to garnish the top of each cup with. You can dollop with a spoon or use a piping bag.
- Top with remaining strawberry slices. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
The first layer needs to be completely set before adding the second layer.
You don't have to slant the cups if you prefer not to. It will still taste the same but without the tilted layers.
Wait to top with the cool whip and berries until ready to serve.
Garnish with whole strawberries instead of slices if desired.
