Ingredients
Scale
Jello Mixtures
- 1 cup boiling water (per Jello flavor)
- 1 (3 oz) box Jello mix (your favorite flavors, multiple flavors for rainbow effect)
- 1 cup cold water (per Jello flavor)
Sherbet Mixture
- 2 cups sherbet (store-bought or homemade, softened)
- 1 cup light whipped topping
Instructions
- Dissolve the Jello Mix: In a medium bowl, dissolve each 3 oz box of Jello mix in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully blended to ensure no granules remain.
- Cool the Jello Mixture: Stir in 1 cup of cold water to each dissolved Jello mixture to cool it down before setting.
- Set the Jello Layers: Pour each flavored Jello mixture as a separate layer into a shallow dish or ice cube tray. Refrigerate the dish for about 4 hours or until each layer is firm and fully set.
- Combine Ingredients: Cut the set Jello layers into cubes and place them into a mixing bowl. Add the softened sherbet and light whipped topping. Mix gently but thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer the combined mixture into an airtight container. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm and solidified, ready to serve.
Notes
- Use different flavors of Jello mix to create a colorful rainbow effect.
- Softening the sherbet slightly will help it blend more easily with the Jello cubes and whipped topping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer to maintain texture and flavor.
- You can use homemade sherbet for a fresher taste or select your favorite store-bought variety.
- Allow the Jello layers to fully chill and set to prevent mixing colors.
