Jello mousse

  
This is by no means my own idea but rather something I make when I feel a craving for something sweet and creamy take over me. An ordinary box of jello can be made more interesting by the substitution of cream for half of the water. Simply sprinkle the jello powder into a bowl as usual and add the 1 cup of boiling water as specified. The twist is to use a cup of whipped up whipping cream as the second part of the process rather than the water, which will give you a mousse like consistency which will very attractively separate into three layers when set.

  
Adding a few blueberries or other fruit (not kiwi or pineapple, it won't set), creates a little berry surprise at the bottom of this incredibly lame and cheap dessert.


 Maybe something on top? Whipped cream, a little more fruit perhaps?


The jello becomes more dense as you descend further down into it's mysterious layers.
