Can I use a different flavor of Jello?
The best part about this recipe (and many other Jello recipes), is that you can use any flavor of Jello you want! I really like strawberry or raspberry jello mixed with the vanilla pudding, but cherry, peach and lemon are also delicious. Any flavor will work!
Another way to change up this dessert is to add some fresh fruit! Go ahead and mix in some raspberries. Or strawberries. Or blueberries. Or all of the above! Depending on which jello flavors you use, you could mix and match the flavors with fresh fruit. Pineapple, fresh peaches, kiwi, sliced bananas and all kinds of berries are all great additions to this low calorie dessert recipe.
Ingredients in Creamy Raspberry Jello
Jello: You just need 1 small box of raspberry Jello (the 3 ounce size). Feel free to swap this out with any flavor you want!
Vanilla pudding: You will need 1 small box cook & serve vanilla pudding (the 3 ounce size). Normally you mix the pudding with milk, but for this recipe, you will use water.
Cool Whip: You’ll need 12 ounces of Cool Whip. Make sure it is thawed completely before adding to the recipe. If you don’t have Cool Whip where you live, or you prefer not to use it, you can make your own stabilized whipped cream (directions below).
How to make Creamy Raspberry Jello
Add 2 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Add the pudding and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the mixture begins to boil, take off heat and add the Jello.
Stir until well combined and pour into a large bowl. Let it cool in the refrigerator for about 3-4 hours. Whip in the Cool Whip with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Divide into parfait dishes and serve. I like to garnish with a few raspberries as well!

CAN YOU REPLACE THE COOL WHIP IN JELLO SALAD?
If you can’t find Cool Whip where you live or you prefer not to use it in recipes, you can use stabilized whipped cream instead. If you just use regular whipped cream, the consistency will be too light and the cream will not hold up very well when mixed into the jello salad. It’s very simple to make your own stabilized whipped cream and it just takes a few minutes!
HOW TO MAKE STABILIZED WHIPPED CREAM
To make stabilized whipped cream, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 ounces of cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream.
- Beat the cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla until soft and smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream just until soft peaks form.
- Add the cream cheese mixture to the whipped cream and beat until stiff peaks are formed. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
A little tip for making whipped cream faster. Use a metal bowl for whipping the cream and place the bowl in the freezer for about 30 minutes before you make the whipped cream. This will significantly decrease the amount of time that you will need to beat the whipped cream – the process will go much faster!
HOW DO YOU STORE JELLO SALAD?
This particular jello salad recipe stores very well in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, but is not ideal for freezing. There really is no need to freeze this recipe because you can make it so quickly!

Wondering about using lemon jello with lemon (rather than vanilla) cook & serve pudding (water instead of milk). Or would that be too much of a good thing? I love lemon! Has anyone tried that?

Great minds think alike!😉 We have tried it and you can find the recipe here: https://butterwithasideofbread.com/creamy-lemon-jello/
I did still use vanilla pudding though….the lemon flavor would be extra strong if you used lemon pudding, but that could be amazing…especially if you really love lemon!
