Fig Jello and Cool Whip Wonder

Perfect for those sweltering summer days when you crave something sweet but not heavy, this Fig Jello and Cool Whip Wonder is a breeze to whip up. I stumbled upon this recipe during a lazy afternoon when my fridge was nearly empty, save for a pack of figs and some Cool Whip—talk about a happy accident!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup fig preserves
  • 1 package (3 oz) raspberry gelatin
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the raspberry gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring for 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water into the gelatin mixture to cool it down.
  3. Gently fold in the fig preserves until evenly distributed throughout the gelatin. Tip: For a smoother texture, you can blend the fig preserves before adding.
  4. Pour the mixture into a 9×9 inch dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. Tip: Cover the dish with plastic wrap to prevent any fridge odors from seeping in.
  5. Once set, cut the gelatin into squares and serve each piece with a dollop of Cool Whip on top. Tip: For an extra touch, garnish with fresh fig slices or mint leaves.

Just like that, you’ve got a dessert that’s as delightful to look at as it is to eat—the creamy Cool Whip perfectly complements the tangy sweetness of the fig gelatin. Try layering it in clear glasses for a fancy parfait effect at your next dinner party!
