  • 16 ounces Cool Whip
  • 1.5 cups Strawberry Preserves
  • Extra Whipped Cream for garnish
  • Fresh Strawberries for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry jello and the boiling water. Whisk until the jello is completely dissolved.
  2. Add the ice-cold water and mix until all of the ice is melted, and the mixture has cooled down to room temperature.
  3. Whisk in the Cool Whip until there are no streaks and everything is well combined. Set aside.
  4. In 6 (8-ounce) serving glasses, place ¼ cup of strawberry preserves in the bottom. Top the strawberry preserves with the mousse mixture.

  6. Just before serving, top the mousse with additional whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Tip 3: Make sure to give your mousse enough time to set so that you have the perfect, fluffy texture.
