I’m sure you’re all wondering why in the heck I’m sharing a jell-o recipe.
You’re probably thinking jell-0 schmell-o?! Ugh, what is she thinking.
I’m here to say, please don’t judge me. . . at least not until you’ve tried this. And if you don’t love it like we did, then please forgive me, not all taste buds are alike!
This jell-o is knock ’em out of the park good. . . seriously it is. It’s kind of more like you’re eating dessert. The comments coming from my boy’s were awesome and my sister devoured a piece in like 30 seconds flat (love you Lori!).
It’s smooth, creamy, the orange/lemon flavor combination is absolutely delicious and the topping is truly divine! I made my jell-0 the night before and then put then made and put the topping on a few hours before I was ready to serve it.
This really is delicious and so refreshing. It makes a great addition to any meal.

Notes
You could easily change up the jell-o and pudding flavors if you’re not a fan of orange/lemon. For the topping you could also use vanilla or white chocolate pudding, but the cheesecake is my favorite!
Also, I think it would be delicious to throw in some sliced bananas and/or mandarin oranges. I just didn’t because I knew if I did, my Braydon wouldn’t come near this stuff with a 10-foot pole.

I am not a real jello fan, but this was unbelievably good……and yes……I did devour it in 30 seconds! Thanks, Sis! I love being your food critic!!
The ingredient amount for the powdered sugar is showing up as an error icon to me. How much is used ? Thank you.
Hi Ali, It’s 1/3 cup powdered sugar.
Thanks again 🙂
So do you make the orange jello as well or do you just sprinkle it in? Thanks looks delicious!
Yes, you make the Jello. It says that in the very first instruction step. I haven’t made this for so long, I can’t wait to make it again because it’s so good. Happy Thanksgiving!
