During the warmer days of the year, I love serving jello for dessert. You can’t go wrong with it. Kids would prefer it over any cake and it makes the perfect after school snack.

In this recipe, I like how the jello, combined with Cool Whip, adds another level of flavors. It’s like eating a creamy jello cake. The fresh fruit also makes an awesome addition to it, adding a lot of flavors altogether.
