09 Step
Recipe View
Just before serving, top the salad with thawed whipped topping, creating a smooth and creamy finish. (Time: 5 minutes)
For a clearer separation of layers, ensure each layer is *almost* fully set before adding the next. It should be firm to the touch but still slightly jiggly.
Experiment with different fruit-flavored gelatins to create your own signature flavor combinations.
For a richer flavor, use whole milk or half-and-half instead of evaporated milk in the creamy layers.
To make this ahead of time, you can prepare the gelatin salad up to 2 days in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Add the whipped topping just before serving.
