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

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

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.
