We enjoy cool whip on quite a few desserts around our house, and in the past I posted about some fun different ways we enjoy using cool whip. Since lemon desserts seem to be all the rage right now, I tweaked a favorite super easy dessert to make it “lemony,” and it was fresh, sweet, cool and tangy!
You only need two ingredients for this sweet lemony treat.
1 3 ounce box of lemon jello (regular or sugar free)
1 16 ounce container of cool whip
Mix together really well, and then freeze for a couple of hours.
Your are then ready to scoop it out and serve. It’s easy, refreshing, cool, light and lemony. Everyone here loved it!
Hope you enjoy!

Okay I’ve combined lemon pudding mix and cool whip to make a great frosting but never lemon jell-o and cool whip to freeze. This sounds A-MAZ-ING. We are so going to have to try this. I would love to have you link this up to Titus 2 Tuesday next week on Cornerstone Confessions.

Margo says
That’s so funny, because this weekend I am going to try the lemon jello and cool whip as a frosting too!
Joan@chocolateandmore says
What a smart idea! Can’t wait to give this a try, I’ve always got a container or two of coll whip in the freezer for emergencies (or just cravings.) The possibilities are endless!

Marina Gonzales says
Hi! My grandmother used to make a lemon Jell-o/Cool Whip dessert and I’ve been searching for it online. This is the closest I’ve found but I’m confused – your insteuctions don’t indicate whether you actually make the Jell-o and then add the Cool Whip, or just mix the Jell-o powder into the Cool Whip? Seems it wouldn’t dissolve that way.. sorry for the dumb question!!
Thanks for a reply –
~Marina.
Margo says
You don’t make up the jello, you simply mix the powdered jello contents with the cool whip and whip it together really well, amazingly it does dissolve. 🙂
