This is a winner. Great for diabetics or those watching their sugar because you can make it with sugar free jello and the new sugar free cool whip. We love it!

This is a very refreshing and light tasting jello. As the saying goes, it is always room for jello, and in this case, that is very true. Everyone loves this recipe.

This is so quick and easy. The only complaint I get from my kids is that they can't eat it "right away".

My family loves dessert. This was so easy and so good. We camp in the summer and I can make this at our campsite too. I've tried several different flavors and it's great everytime. Try this recipe with peach jello and add a few fresh peaches.

Quick, easy, & fun twist on regular jello. Made the recipe with sugar-free jello & fat-free COOL WHIP, & it was just as tasty.

Wonderful, fast dessert. More filling than just plain Jell-O, my 3 kids love this (as do myself and husband!). I make this before I start supper and by the time we're done eating, the dessert has set up enough to eat.

The whipped topping is good, but you can add ice cream instead. My family likes this best.
