I saw Laura with Kitchenaid whipping Jello. Did anyone get the recipe? I have not ever seen this done? Thanks, Deb

It's a old Jello recipe from back in the 50s.

Dump a large or extra large egg white in mixer bowl with ½ cup GRANULATED sugar and a 3 oz package of any flavor REGULAR (not sugar free) Jello and ½ teaspoon vanilla.

Use the whip. Turn mixer on a low speed to slightly blend ingredients. Turn to '10' and SLOWLY add ½ cup BOILING water. Let 'er rip for 5 minutes. Water needs to be boiling to dissolve the sugar and Jello.

It does set up fast, so be sure to use immediately. It comes out similar to the consistancy of marshmallow creme. (Really, all you're doing is making marshmallows; marshmallows are made from egg whites, hot simple syrup and corn syrup).

Nice colors, and a light flavor of the jello flavor used. For more intense flavor, use a small amount of concentrated flavoring.

This will frost 2 dozen cupcakes.

This is a link from Laura's post. The person who blogged about this Jello icing has comments concerning humid weather and below the original recipe, how to make it sugar free.

I just made a recipe for dessert tonight where you make jello (yesterday so it can set) then today I added cool whip and whipped it to the consistency I wanted and it was delicious. My mom said she made it for me when I was young but I don't remember.

Laura also said you could use Instant Pudding for a frosting. Does anyone know the recipe for that?

Not sure if this is what you were looking for, but for every 2 cups of Whipping Cream, you can add a Tbs. of instant vanilla pudding.

It stabilizes the cream and doesn't leave it gummy like unflavored gelatin does. She said you could also use lemon pudding to give it a hint of lemon flavor.

I think I had this when growing up also. I think a can of drained fruit cocktail was added too.

Remember "Jello 1-2-3"? It layered itself when you made it- As I recall, there is a "homemade" version of this that has either dream whip or cool whip in it- does anyone have this recipe? I think you do it in a blender...

I never use Cool Whip for anything. You can whip a can of evaporated milk with jello (keep the milk in the fridge, it has to be really cold to work properly) to get a mousse dessert.

Thank you, Deadeye Daisy! Is there anything about cooking that you do not know? Seriously, you amaze me!

I sure do remember it. I googled it, and this is what I found:

http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/jell-o-1-2-3-dessert-91448.aspx

WHAT YOU NEED

3/4

cup boiling water

pkg. (0.3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Sugar Free Gelatin, or any flavor

Ice cubes

1/2

cup cold water

1/2

cup thawed COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping

MAKE IT

ADD boiling water to gelatin mix iin medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Pour into blender. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1-1/4 cups; add to blender. Blend 30 sec. or until smooth.

ADD COOL WHIP; blend well.

POUR into 4 dessert dishes. Refrigerate 20 min. or until firm.

KRAFT KITCHEN TIPS

Fun Idea

Top each serving with 1/4 cup cut-up fruit to match your JELL-O flavor. For instance, serve sliced fresh strawberries with strawberry JELL-O.

Way back when, if we had a little vanilla ice cream in the freezer, my mom would make Jello and whip the semi-firm Jello with the softened ice cream and then re-chill to get it to firm up the rest of the way. It was a cheap dessert, but we liked it.

Back when she was posting, LilBit had a recipe for Jello 1-2-3. I tried and, and it worked but I wish they still made the original version in a box.

Laura said on air yesterday to add 1 Tablespoon of vanilla pudding to every pint of heavy cream when you make whipped cream and it will hold its shape without changing the flavor. There was a cake on the set with this on top and it looked great hours later even under the hot lights they have on set for the Q.
