Lemon Cool Whip Jello Mousse
- 3 3 oz. packages of sugar-free (or regular) lemon Jello
- 4 cups boiling water
- 1 9 oz. container of sugar free, fat free or regular Cool Whip
- 1 12 oz. container of frozen sugar free or regular lemonade
Pour boiling water into a large mixing bowl. Dissolve Jello in boiling water. Add frozen lemonade until well blended and all ice crystals have dissolved. Cool in the refrigerator until thickened, but not set (about 2-3 hours).
Remove Jello mixture from refrigerator and beat in Cool Whip, a little at a time, with a hand or stand mixer on medium speed. When all the Cool Whip has been beaten in, pour mixture into a tall glass serving bowl and chill in refrigerator until set, about 4 hours.
