Notes

While some might think it’s easier to make all the layers at the same time, I found it was easier to make one layer at a time.
Make sure to give yourself enough time for the jello to set before serving.
These are my family’s favorite Easter desserts. Jello recipes aren’t new recipes, however, they are easy recipes.
I think it’s the pastel color that makes this such a huge hit with everyone.
You can also add a yellow peep, orange peep, blue peep, etc. to the top as I did with an Easter pie once before. It gives it a cute twist.

Can I Make This With Sugar-Free Jello

I have not tried it with sugar-free jello, but there’s a first time for everything.
Sugar-free jello doesn’t have the consistency as regular jello, however, I have used sugar-free when making jello shots and I did not notice a difference one way or another.

Why are Jello Salad Recipes so Popular

Back in the day, Jello salad recipes were popular because they were cheap and easy meals additions with ingredients readily available at the grocery store.
If made in a ring mold with a cream cheese layer, with cranberry sauce, a raspberry layer, and fresh raspberries, it was considered a great side dish.
The raspberry vanilla jello salad was a staple in many households during the depression.
