- My mother grew up during The Great Depression. She began cooking and collecting recipes in 1937. This is a very old recipe for Whipped Jello. People used to whip Jello because it would stretch it and double the amount of servings that you got from a box of Jello. You can make it with any flavor Jello that you like. There are no other ingredients, only what's in the box of Jello.

Do you have a favorite Jello recipe?
One of my great aunts who was a teen in the depression era taught my mom a jello recipe using a similar method except she would do 3 layers. It was like the boxed 1-2-3 Jello in the 70's but it was before jello came out with that type of jello. She would use orange jello or strawberry jello to do it.
She would make one layer by the normal recipe with water, then she would make the next layer with a little bit of dream whip or whipping cream and water but not make it very whipped. Just firm amd creamy. It was more like the consistancy of the first layer but just a light orange or pink depending the flavor of jello she was using.
Then, she would use more dream whip or whipping cream and less water in the top layer and make it more fluffy.
When she finished it, she put it in the fridge and let it set. Sometimes she would layer it in parfait glasses to make it look pretty for a nice dinner dessert with a thin orange slice on top or a few slices of strawberry.
Then one day, jello company came out with the 1-2-3 brand Jello so she started buying that. It was tasty too and one of my favorite desserts as a kid.
Grated carrots and pineapple in orange jello.
Here's a recipe my mom got in 1957:
LEMON BISQUE
1 large can cold evaporated milk, whipped stiff
1 package 3oz lemon jello dissolved in 1 1/4 cups boiling water, cool, whip into whipped milk, add 1/8 t. salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 T. Fresh lemon juice
Crush 1 box ( 1 lb.) vanilla wafers and place half on bottom of pyrex dish and half on top. Refrigerate till ready to use.
Enjoy 💗
Can use orange jello, chocolate wafers
Lime jello, chocolate wafers.....
Layers of different flavors, alternating plain Jello and Jello mixed with cream.
Lemon snow! Thank you for sharing this dessert recipe!
A pre-baked pie shell, lemon jello fluff, finished off with lemon zest. Depression-era lemon meringue pie!
My Mom would make a delicious lemon meringue pie. Thanks for sharing and for watching. Have a wonderful day👩🏻
I grew up eating versions of this and it's about the only way I like jello. I had forgotten about it for quite awhile until recently. We've been making it using sugar free jello and it has been a huge help since I developed diabetes to take care of my sweet tooth while staying in my food perimeters.
Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
My mother made this every summer,we were very poor and could not afford ice cream from the truck . That was ok,we loved tthis,So refreshing.
Thank you for sharing about your Mother making this for you. A very good dessert for the summer. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day👩🏻
Great video. We used to mix whipped cream in the jello after it was partially set, but not this way. It looks really tasty. My grandma used to put the jello in a covered glass jar with a rope around the neck and keep it down in the well water to chill completely and pull the jar back out of the well when it was time to eat it.
Thank you for sharing how your Grandma chilled the jello. Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Grandma that looks so refreshing. Anything with lemon 🍋 I really like. I’m going to make this. A nice east light dessert. Lol 🍋🍨💛
Thank you so much for watching. Have a wonderful day👩🏻
Haven't made this since my kids were little. Thanks for the reminder. Used to add a bit of cream cheese to part of it and put it in the glasses in layers. Plain jello, then whipped with cream cheese jello, and repeat. Kids thought it was really special. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to make it foe my grandchildren now. 😊
Anything with cream cheese added is usually delicious. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day👩🏻
My Mom used to make this, well something like this. I think she added either cream or sour cream. It was delicious! That looks so pretty with the layers!
Thank you.♥️
Thank you so much for watching. Have a great day👩🏻
A Depression recipe I’ve never heard of! I’ve mixed Jello with cream, but not plain like this. Thanks Grandma!
Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
This looks so tasty and way more appetizing that the traditional way to make gelatin desserts. The traditional way makes me think of hospital food because that was the dessert that they always gave the patients when they were in the hospital. Thank you for sharing.
So true about jello always being the dessert in the hospital. This is a nice way to serve jello. Thank you so much for watching.❤️Grandma👩🏻
This is great! I'm going to try this. Thank you for sharing.
I am glad to hear you will be making the Whipped Jello. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day👩🏻
Thank you for the clear instructions. It looks delicious. One of my favorite recipes is Jello poke cake.
In the past I have made Jello poke cakes and quite a few other desserts using jello. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Anyone remember JELLO 1-2-3 ?
I remember Jello 1-2-3. In that dessert you would add cool whip. I don’t use cool whip anymore I like to have natural whipped cream. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day👩🏻
I remember having this when I was a child. Never knew how mom made it. I've been want to make this. Now I can. Thank you for sharing!

My mom made something similar using whipped cold whipped condensed milk. She got the recipe in 1957 from a fellow church member. It's lemon bisque. A layer of crushed vanilla wafers on the bottom and the top. Thank you Grandma! I like jello desserts. I hope you and Grandpa have a wonderful day and keep these wonderful recipes coming! 💗💗💗

I am happy to hear that my recipes are helping at this difficult time with prices rising. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! Something in my brain says this was called Chiffon, maybe? Looks like a good dessert for this unbelievably hot weather! ❤️
Hi Marty I have only heard of a Chiffon Cake that is similar to a Sponge Cake. This dessert is perfect if you want more servings from your box of jello. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day.❤️👩🏻 &👨🍳
Im going to make this!
Thankyou Grandma and Grandpa ❤
We hope you enjoy. Thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳

Hi I am happy to hear you now have the recipe and the other recipes are helping you to feed your family. Thank you for watching from Canada. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
That looks wonderful Grandma, I love anything lemon. Those peanut butter glasses (jars) are beautiful, I wish they still sold them. Thanks for sharing another great recipe. Stay well and safe.
You maybe able to find the glasses in a thrift or antique store. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
Lime is my favorite Jell-O. Thanks for sharing.
You can use any flavor you like. Thank you for watching👩🏻
This looks delicious! I’m going to make this using my electric hand mixer. Our favorite flavor is lemon too! Thank you for the video. You both make me very happy to watch your videos. You remind me of my parents who have been gone for 25 years. Hugs!
Thank you for your kind words and thank you so much for watching. Have a good day❤️👩🏻 & 👨🍳
My husband loves lemon meringue pie. I am definitely going to try this. Thank you both. ❤❤
I am glad to hear you will be making the whipped jello. Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
I’m so excited I found this channel and recipe! I’m on a diet where I can have some sugar free jello as a snack and I think I’m going to try and make this for my after dinner snack!
Welcome!! Hope you enjoy! ❤️Grandma👩🏻
Yummmmmy!
Thank you for watching and have a great day👩🏻
There used to be more in containers we buy back in the day but now it is smaller and the price went up. This was so neat to watch. I thought it was going to flow over in the pot.
When I was whipping the jello I thought it might go over the pot. Luckily it did not. Everything we buy is smaller amounts now and the prices keep going up. Thank you so much for watching ❤️👩🏻
I like to add miniature marshmallows and small bites of cream cheese to just about any flavor of Jello.
Thanks for sharing what you add to jello. The kids would like that. Thank you for watching and have a great day👩🏻
Jello always reminds me of my grandma. Her go-to dessert was jello with fruit or vegetables or cool whip. Orange with shredded carrots, green with chopped celery, cherry with cool whip.
My Mom would make Jello for dessert if she had not baked anything that day. Thanks for sharing what your Grandma would add to the Jello. Have a good day👩🏻
You could layer some cool whip in there, looks delicious 🤩
You probably could layer cool whip or add some on top. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
Happy memories...yummy
💖💖💖💖
Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
I have a set of the peanut butter glasses. It was Tip Top Peanut Butter that had these glasses. My mother gave me some when I got married. I collected the rest over the years at yard sales. I still use the 60 year old glasses.
Thank you for sharing about having the peanut butter glasses and the information. I know they are old as I was a young girl when my Mother collected them. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
This reminds me a gelatine parfait that was popular in the 70's. My mother would make it in the summer and we would have fruit salad with it. I'm going to try this, we have a pantry filled with Jell-O. Thanks grandma and grandpa 👍👍👍👍
I still have parfait glasses from the 70’s. I would be making them all different ways for the family. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Wow, I've never seen this before... so I've just whipped up a batch of our family favourite pineapple jello, it's not 100% set but they already love it. Thank you again, grandma.
PS Your apple brownies are a big hit!
Thank you for sharing that you made the jello and the apple brownies. Thank you so much for watching and have a great day👩🏻
I have my mother’s old egg beater. I don’t remember her whipping jello, but I do remember her using it for homemade egg nog. Yum.
I’m making this for my husband because he likes lemon meringue, and I’ve never made that. Grandpa said that’s what it reminded him of, so I’ll make it for my husband. ❤
My mom made a jello dessert with lime or maybe pistachio dry jello that everyone loved. I’ve seen the recipe, but wish I had the one my mom used. She mixed the dry contents with cool whip and other stuff. The parishioners at her church loved it. It was good.
I hope your husband enjoys the jello. I received the egg beater at my shower when I was getting married. I have many jello dessert recipes. I will look if I have anything similar to what your Mother made. Thank you so much for watching❤️👩🏻
This reminds me of a product from the late 1960s\early 1970s, called "Fruit Float." I loved it!
Thank you so much for watching.❤️Grandma👩🏻
This is news to me. My roommate and I take turns cooking and I make jello once a month, but just follow the directions on the box. Thanks for the demonstration, I’m going to make it tomorrow!
Glad to hear you will be making the whipped jello. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
Thanks so much for this upload, many people don't realize that the key ingredient in Jello, gelatin, is derived usually from beef and pork bones.
Yes I know about the ingredients. Years ago I would take the plain gelatin everyday to grow my fingernails. It did not help my nails that much. Thank you so much for watching and have a wonderful day👩🏻
Most people do know this as (like GF says) it's a good dietary source of collagen.
That would be good in popsicle molds and frozen for a summer treat.🤗
I have never tried that but it should make good popsicles. I will try. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Looks great add some whipped cream in a graham cracker pie crust. Yum lemon meringue pie!
Thanks for sharing and for watching. Have a great day👩🏻
hi grama and grampa. hope you are doing fantastic from gramma wilma jeanie. i love this recipe and thank you for it
Grandpa and I are doing well thank you for asking. I am glad to hear you love this recipe. Have a wonderful day👩🏻
My mother would make this, she used Strawberry or cherry Jell-O, I think the lemon would be delicious too! Love you Grandma and Grandpa, take care 💜
Hi Diane Glad to hear your Mom made the Jello. Strawberry is my favorite flavor. Have a nice Memorial weekend. Love Grandma👩🏻 & Grandpa👨🍳
@@GrandmaFeral have a nice weekend too Grandma and Grandpa 💜
Thank you! There was a recipe my grandmother made, I sadly do not have it but will try to describe. It was made with lime jello and 3 ounces of cream cheese. I believe some of the lime jello was mixed in with the cream cheese. Anyway.....it was really delicious!
Take a look on Phyllis Stokes and sons channel she made lime jello with cream cheese. I hope that helps you
Thanks for sharing. I will look for the recipe. Have a great day👩🏻
@@Lisa-cj6vx thank you! I'm subscribed to her also!
@@BarbaraRomano-akatropicgal55 you're welcome 😊
@@GrandmaFeral you're welcome 😊
My favorite was red jello whipped fluffy with vanilla ice cream before chilling.
Sounds great!❤️Grandma👩🏻
OOOH YUUUUUM !!!! When can i come over and get some ????
Sure you can come over. Thank you so much for watching and have a great day👩🏻
What a great idea! I wonder what it would be like frozen...
Hi I don’t know but you can try it. Thank you so much for watching.❤️Grandma👩🏻
I want to try this with some pineapple jello we have here. This is certainly the weather for it.
I am glad to hear you will be making pineapple whipped jello. One of my favorite flavors. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
I've always chilled mine till it is starting to thicken before I start whipping it, it shortens your whipping time if it's chilled first. This worked out just as well though.
Thanks for sharing about chilling it first. Thank you so much for watching👩🏻
You have a familiar voice. You remind me of Lady Elaine Fairchilde. Excellent video. I will give this a try. ❤
My children loved Mr. Rogers and we watched it all the time. Glad you like the video. Enjoy❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral I think I have more appreciation for Mr Rogers today than I ever had. Everytime I read something about him it warmed my heart. The whipped jello was a hit. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
This looks great! Can I use a hand mixer? Thanks
You can use a hand mixer. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
I want a vintage beater, but every time I find one it’s rusty. I want to try this with blue Jello & cool whip.
Here is a link to where you can buy it on Amazon - amzn.to/483rPgI
Cool. Have you tried whipping it with evaporated milk? Nice creamy lemon mousse
Great idea! Thank you for sharing❤️Grandma👩🏻
❤🙏❤️
Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
That was more entertaining than I'm currently used to. I'm curious if this method works with coffee that has milk in it, to make a frothy, cold coffee/pudding.
Hi I don’t know if it would work with coffee and milk. You don’t know until you try it. Let me know the outcome. Thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral I took it out of the fridge (it wasn't cold yet) and put the bowl in a larger bowl with frozen water bottles, so I could try to mix it like you did while it cooled down. My small battery-powered coffee mixer overheated and I attempted to whisk it.
Once it got cold enough it started to set while I was mixing, which was exciting!
I put it back into the fridge and it turned very firm, because I used a bunch of the plain gelatin powder. It does taste very good though, like chocolate coffee pudding.
It seems to have helped my muscles to be less sore, and I feel like exercising, so I'll probably make this more often.
Thanks for the tips!
I bet it was GREAT being very children.
Thank you for watching. Have a good day👩🏻
If you reduce the water and let set will it be more like a marshmallow?
I really don’t know I only made it the way I showed it on the video. I may now make it reducing the water and see how it turns out. Thank you for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral Thank you for answering me so quickly.
Thank you gramma and grampa😁
Your so welcome. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
I'm surprised you can do this with jello without adding milk or cream. Does this work with sugar free jello mix?
Hi I have never made sugar free whipped jello but I am sure it would work. Thank you so much for watching.❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeral turns out it doesn't work without the sugar. I whipped it for 15 minutes with a power mixer and got it very frothy, but after a few minutes in the fridge all the froth collapsed and it just turned into regular jello.
didnt know jello could become that. I wonder if i use milk instead of water.
Hi I have never used milk but you can try it. Have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
grandma where do i meet a nice woman to marry?
At church or a social gathering❤️Grandma👩🏻
@@GrandmaFeralive tried this, but it seems so predatory trying to romantically engage women at church; especially when its usually surrounded by family who are naturally protective
OMGs what an amazing method for making a faux moose!
Thank you so much for watching❤️Grandma👩🏻
