We’ve all had our fair share of Jell-O, whether it be bowls of it on those blistering hot days during our childhood or one too many Jell-O shots at a Super Bowl Party circa 2015. It’s a fan favorite, and never fails to please crowds of all ages.
This recipe takes the classic strawberry flavor and throws some more ingredients in there, making it a kind of Jell-O like you’ve never seen. Forget the shots, try this sweet strawberry banana Jell-O that’s ultra satisfying, even when you don’t really have an occasion to celebrate.
Strawberry Banana Jell-O
Ingredients
Instructions
Gather your ingredients and combine 2/3 cups boiling water to strawberry Jell-O mix in a large bowl. Stir until mixture has completely dissolved.
Thaw one 20oz bag of strawberries and combine with Jell-O mix in bowl.
Mash 2 bananas (I used a potato masher, but you can use any utensil that does the trick) and spoon into Jell-O bowl.
Drain one 20oz can of crushed pineapple and add to bowl.
Chop 1/2 cup walnuts either with your fists, a knife, or a glass chopper and add to mixture.
Stir ingredients together and pour half of the contents into a large glass container. Let freeze for 15 minutes.
Spread a thick layer of sour cream across the top with a spatula or spreader. Pour the rest of the mixture on top, refrigerate, and serve when chilled for long enough.
#SpoonTip: To help you get the most out of this recipe:
1) Cool Whip will work just as well as sour cream, feel free to substitute.
2.) Mix up the fruit choices – peaches, blueberries, or any tropical fruit will taste fantastic too.
