5 min jello recipe

I came across this recicpe on a blog recently(http://visitingteachingblog.blogspot.com/2010/06/jello-surprise.html) and I immediately liked it because it is so quick! :) I put my own twist to it and here is it is:

5 minute jello salad

1 lg package jello
1 1/3 c boiling water
16-18 ice cubes
4 c whipped topping (divided)
Fresh fruit (optional)

Put jello and water into a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. Add ice cubes to blender one at a time while continuing to blend till completely mixed. Mix in 2 cups whipped topping. Immediately pour into serving bowl and cool in refrigerator for 5 minutes. Add fresh fruit, and another dollop of cream on top, if desired.

Optional: This can be made into a layer salad by dividing mixture into half after blending. Add whipped topping to only one half. Layer the half with the whipped topping on top of the half without. Fresh fruit can be added to either layer or on top, if desired. Top with remaining whipped topping.
