That makes much more sense, Dorothy.Thanks for the clarification.
I have the Cherry jello packet near the blender right now 🙂
Do you think it will matter whether it is Sugar Free or Regular Jello? I have both kinds at home.
What did you use?

Date: Thursday, March 20, 2008, 6:46 pmI found another recipe that calls for 1/2 cup to 1 cup of ice cubes. I think that the person that did this recipe forgot to list the amount of ice needed.
I just googled Jello 1 2 3 and got a few hits. Most of them where just talking about the product and only a few had an actual recipe.

So is it 1/2 cup cold water in the blender and simply adding enough ice to the blender to bring it up to the 1-1/4 capacity line or something else? I am notsure I understand the instruction as written.

P.S. Like you, jello is not something I regularly want to eat, but Jello 1-2-3 is a different type treat that my husband and I have a taste for. 🙂

When I first arrived at my parents’ house 3 weeks ago I was starting bedrest and coming down with a wicked cold. Whenever I’m sick my appetite changes and I was actually in the mood for jello; something I normally can’t stand.
Here’s the catch. I was craving jello but it had to be Jello 1-2-3. You may remember this from the 80s and 90s.
It came in a box and it turned into a jello dessert with 3 layers. The bottom layer is regular jello, the second layer is a bit creamier, and the top layer is foamy. This was one of my favorite treats growing up.
Well, after some internet research, I found a recipe that looked like it might work. Since I have been on bedrest I had to beg my mom to make it for me. While it ended up being a bit more of a Jello 1-2, it was just as tasty as I remembered.
I’m hoping I can convince her to make it again before I leave in a few
weeks.Here is the recipe that I found:
JELLO 1-2-3
3/4 cup boiling water
1 package Jello (4-serving size)
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup cool whip , thawed1. Pour boiling water into blender. Add gelatin.
Cover and blend at low speed until gelatin is completely dissolved, about 30 seconds.
2. Combine cold water ice cubes to make 1-1/4 cups. Add to gelatin and stir until ice is partially melted.
3.Then add whipped topping; blend at high speed for 30 seconds.
4. Pour into dessert glasses.
5. Chill about 30 minutes.Dessert layers as it chills. Garnish as desired.

In Canada I believe there is a product called Trio Treat Gelatin that is similar. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of a MYO recipe (T-N-T) that was similar.My husband and I are nostolgic (sp.) for this childhood favorite treat.
