The pleasant and light dessert known as jello whip originated in the United States in the middle of the twentieth century, during a dessert craze centered on gelatin. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, a casual get-together with friends, or just want a quick dessert on a workday, this refreshing and light meal is sure to please. It’s a great option for those who want a sweet treat but don’t want to eat anything too heavy.

Even without the addition of fresh fruit, such berries or sliced peaches, the airy quality of jello whip makes it a crowd-pleaser. Add some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a more delicious dessert. A garnish of grated chocolate or a handful of crushed almonds adds texture and looks beautiful when served.
