Description

A yummy, fluffy salad of a fruit variety. I think raspberry is best, but I have used orange & blackberry. Just match your fruit to the jello you use. I double it to serve a crowd. Start making the night before as it needs to set up really well.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Cook And Serve Tapioca Pudding (3 Oz. Size)
  • 1 package Cook And Serve Vanilla Pudding (3 Oz. Size)
  • 1 package Raspberry Jello (3 Oz. Size)
  • 3 cups Water
  • 1 container Cool Whip Topping (8 0z. Size)
  • 1-½ pint Fresh Raspberries

Preparation

Pour the three dry boxes of pudding and jello into a medium saucepan. Add the three cups of water and stir until mixture is dissolved. Bring to a boil and let boil a full minute.

Pour into a large bowl and let it set up in the fridge overnight. It needs to be very well set. When ready to serve, stir up the mixture a bit to loosen it up. Add 8 ounces of cool whip and mix together until pretty well blended. There will be small lumps from the tapioca. Don’t try to stir these out. Finally, add the fresh raspberries and fold in carefully. Try to leave them mostly whole.

My family loves this recipe! It’s great with raspberries!
My grandchildren love strawberries, so I make it with strawberry jello and put strawberries in it. Delicious!

I tried this for a couple of girlfriends birthday dinner. It was a big hit. I took the left overs to work and everyone asked for the recipe.

This is a big hit. Since it is winter and fresh fruits are scarce, I have been using frozen. We have found the frozen mixed berry to be the best with any red jello. Yum!

Mighty tasty! I did this with strawberries and it was scrumptious.

I tried this at a family gathering, but it didn’t go over very well. I make a similar pink jello that doesn’t use pudding so was anxious to see what my family thought of this recipe – but everyone agreed that my jello was better than the Nirvana.
