Easy 1960s Jello Dessert

[@veronicastewart1112]

Everyone's mother was a jello queen in the 1960s!

[@bdianes6339]

💯 CORRECT… WHO DOES KEVIN THINK HE IS❓ 🤣😂🤣♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🤣😂🤣 WE ALL HAD JELLO QUEEN MOM’s AND ALL OF US LOVED & HATED SOME OF THE JELLO DISHES THAT WERE SET-BEFORE-US 😁 WE THE CHILDREN OF ALL AGES SAMPLED ALL THE CREATIVE JELLO RECIPES OUR MOTHER’s PREPARED 🤣😂🤣

[@BeenaNarula-uk1en]

Copying my mother...l also made lots ...just to increase quantity of my pudding.😂😂..be it custard,fruit cream or icecream.

[@janettescott4223]

My-T- Fine pudding was the staple dessert in our house. Yes, we had Jell-O, but thankfully, we kept it plain served with whipped cream.

[@jennifern2805]

My mother made Watergate salad with lime Jell-O, cottage cheese, pineapple and pecans. My grandmother would usually make a variety of Jell-O with encased canned pear halves and/or shredded carrots. She'd always serve it with a dollop of mayonnaise. Somehow, it worked well together. I've not eaten either Jell-O salad in decades.

[@sandrateets647]

Love this. Try peach Jello, cream cheese & 15 oz. can drained peaches, all in the blender. It tastes like a fresh peach. Thank you for this video.

[@bdianes6339]

♥️👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️ YUMM~~O

[@laabaaa2107]

I was just watching this, thinking how peach jello would be perfect in this recipe! Thank you!

[@jillr.austin1103]

I make orange fluffy jello. It's 2 1/2 cups water in sauce pan .1 3oz package cooked vanilla pudding and 1 ,3 Oz orange jello cook till Boiling. Pour into bowl refrigerate Over night. Mix 12 oz cool whip Then add 2 large cans mandarin Oranges drained. Fold in.I use it as Frosting on Duncan Hines orange Cake mix.its so refreshing and Yummy

[@Flyer11920]

My mom still makes "green salad" for Thanksgiving and Christmas! She doesn't add coconut, but it is lime jello, cream cheese, mayo and pineapple and we top it with either whipped cream or mayo, it has long been either a love/hate part of the menu, but I love it!

[@aydenwoyus7943]

The jello recipe I used to eat didn’t any cream cheese or mayo, it was transparent. But that sounds very good to me, I’d be on the side looking forward to the “green salad!”

[@donnasalerno9870]

@stephaniek6912 My Aunt Anna made the same green jello salad recipe but also folded mini marshmallows in it. It made it have a fluffy, airy consistency. It was so good! Jello salads are underrated lol

[@nikkibonbon1600]

That's amazing!

[@swearenginlawanda]

I don't put in mayo, but my kids always want my green "salad ". I add chopped pecans and mini marshmallows. Cream cheese, crushed pineapple, pecan and mini marshmallows in the lime jello

[@marthaacostello3218]

Aunt Helen made one with lime jello and cottage cheese, and pineapple. Not my favorite! Mom made one that we all loved. Strawberry and lemon jello mixed, with strawberries, pineapple, and mixed berries. She put half of the mix in a fancy mold and let it set. Then she spread a layer of sour cream, and poured the rest of the jello on top. Then she turned it out on a fancy platter! Divine!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Maybe those gelatin(e) molds from the 50s-60s will make a comeback. My mother had -- and maybe still has -- a huge collection of them.

[@nikkibonbon1600]

Wow! That's sounds amazing!

[@shayhoff7064]

Seafoam salad

[@BeenaNarula-uk1en]

Light weight..made of aluminium.😂😂

[@bren6967]

Thank you so much. I have spent the last two days looking for this exact recipe. Should have searched KZbin first. If I am remembering correctly, my mom would blend in only 6ozs of cream cheese. The remaining 2ozs were smashed it in to very tiny chunks, spread out on a small plate, and refrigerated. After refrigerating the Jello mix for about an hour, she would gently stir in the 2ozs of chunked cream cheese and refrigerate until set. Those tiny burst of cream cheese were heavenly.

[@myheartisinjapan3184]

Memories. My Mom used to make jello with shredded carrots and cabbage in it. With miracle whip on top. On a bed of lettuce. We loved it…it was so fancy. Lol.

[@aydenwoyus7943]

That seems to be close to what I had. I don’t remember the miracle whip, but it was on a lettuce leaf. What are the chances you could get that recipe!

[@lauriesue2244]

I grew up having orange jello with fruit cocktail and chopped walnuts. It’s pretty, nutritious and tasty!

[@flyfly2850]

I was born and raised in Europe therefore Jell-O was not a thing to me until I came to the USA. I have been always fascinated by vintage lifestyle, especially when it comes to cooking and I read a lot about American cooking style from the past. Jell-O was a staple and considered quite a fancy ingredient while entertaining. I Love history!

[@lunamae4718]

I'm enjoying the story that goes with this wonderful dessert ..If you love Jack Benny you love Jello !

[@tretower57]

My mom made one with Bing Cherry Jello. You subbed in 1 glass of red wine for one of the cups of water. You added 1 can of Bing Cherries and 1/2 can of their juice instead of that amount of water. Then, you add 1/2 cup of Slivered Almonds. I still make this one at Thanksgiving sometimes. It sort of serves the same purpose as cranberry sauce and I like the cherries and the crunch of the almonds. She would also make one with lime jello that had cottage cheese and grated carrot in it.

[@maryannchandonnait8094]

That looks similar to a dessert I've been making for 40 years using whipped cream, orange sherbet and either orange or apricot jello.I'm going to try your recipe using lemon as I have been craving lemon sherbet and can't find it in any supermarket anymore. Thanks for posting this recipe

[@JRNurse2013]

This looks great! My 8 year old grandson will love it because he loves sherbet. My Mom made a jello salad that was a hit in the 70’s. It had strawberry jello, frozen strawberries dissolved in it, bananas, pecans and a middle layer of sour cream. I think some people added pineapple to it…not sure. Thanks for the memories!

[@nancyevans822]

Boy! Does this ever bring back the memories… thanks, Kevin. As a child of the 60’s and 70’s, jello was definitely a “thang.” So you remember the jello that divides into 3 or 4 different layers after it set? Early 70’s I believe. So delicious! 😂

[@elewmompittseh]

My grandmother taught me to make it in a double boiler. First arrange mandarins in a bundt mold, and put it in the freezer so the oranges stick. Then melt the 16 oz cream cheese in a double boiler, add the 6 oz jello powder and dissolve it in the hot melted cream cheese...add 1 1/2 C boiling water...whisk it all well. She added 1 C cold whipping cream and 1 C cold water, whisk it in well...then pour it in the frozen bundt cake mold. That goes into the fridge to chill. Then once that was set she'd make regular jello with fruit salad and pour it over the set cream cheese mix. In the fridge to set again. To release the mold she filled a large bowl with hot water and dunk the bundt pan in it for 3 seconds before flipping it out.

[@christineb4179]

I'm sure someone else commented this but you can definitely still find canned mandarin oranges in heavy syrup. Found with all the other canned fruit. This recipe looks delicious!

[@vickyroberson2441]

Yes, I get them frequently

[@reneecoursey7155]

When my mother in law passed away I found a paperback cookbook that was put out by Jello and it had every imaginable Jello recipe. I passed it on to my son and his family and they laughed a lot.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

What a rare find! I can only imagine the wild (and maybe, sometimes, wonderful) recipes in that are in the vintage jello cookbook!

[@TheHoppesl]

They used to make that at MCL cafeteria’s in Indiana in the 1960’s and 1970’s. I LOVED it! They cut it into bricks about 3 inches high and topped with whipped cream. They had green, orange and pink. They had a version that had cottage cheese mixed in and it was fabulous! Thanks for the lovely memory.

[@CreeSweetSage61]

I grew up in the 60's. My mom made jello cake. Which, i still make. My grandma use to make a lime jello/pineapple/cream cheese with cherries in it. I would ask for it every year for thanksgiving/christmas. Loved it. Still do. :D I am going to give this orange jello dessert this weekend. Sounds amazing.

[@johnroot3555]

Sounds wonderful. I used to love Orange Sherbert, so I will be heading to the store to find a 3 oz package of jello. Thanks, kevin.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

Let me know how the dessert turns out for you!

[@miriammaldonado2531]

Back in 1980ish when I turned 6 years old a distant family member made a Jell-0 for my birthday it got stuck with me. Somehow I grew up making all types of Jell-0 recipes I gather from antys, friends, or bookrecipes, and now website.. However this one is new to me, it's different diversion.. Thanks for sharing! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@annclaudettejones2282]

I so enjoy your recipes and demonstrations. I love that you take the time and care to present the food, upping its appeal. People seem to have forgotten the pleasure of beautiful china, crystal, and silverware. You instil graciousness into the experience.

[@marylouw2890]

We just loved cherry jello with bananas that never lasted long with our family!

[@sayso6855]

Such memories! I remember a jello salad with a topping that was so good! Have never seen it since!!! Please do more of these forgotten recipes! ❤️

[@elegantspell]

I made this tonight and it was very light yet rich at the same time! The taste took me back to the 1970s and I had a little heartache remembering loved ones who have passed. Thank you for elevating and sharing this simple, precious recipe.🧡🤍

[@LLjean-qz7sb]

We always made black cherry jello or cherry jello with walnuts and bananas. Make the 1 large box jello as per instructions and add walnut pieces and banana slices ( as much or as little as you like, we added 2C walnuts and 3-4 sliced bananas to the jello) and make sure everything is covered with the jello liquid so bananas don't get brown ( it will all float on the top of the jello). Chill and serve with whipped cream! When I got older, I let the jello set about 1/2 way and then stirred in the bananas and walnuts so they were in the whole bowl of jello, not just on the top! (People used to eat off all the fruit and nuts off the top and just plain jello was left!!) Use the mandarin oranges in the little cans, they taste great! I make my Ambrosia with them all the time! God Bless!

[@LISA61367]

Brings back so many memories. I remember, back in the 60’s and 70’s, my grandmother making desserts with jello, fruit, and dream whip. I remember her serving them in tall, parfait style (soda fountain) glasses. They always looked so pretty. This recipe looks wonderful! Will definitely have to try it. Thanks for posting ☺️

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

We share the same memories. Those jello/fruit/dream whip desserts were not just delicious -- they were works of art!

[@helen2061]

Thanks...Do you remember a freezer cake with cottage cheese, pineapple, jello and Cool Whip or Dream Whip? I remember liking it alot but don't see a recipe.

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

I'm not familiar with the cake you described. When I was about 8 years old, my mother taught me how to "make" Dream Whip. This was great fun, because I got to use the electric beaters!

[@fransmordin8015]

My older daughter loves jello, dream whip and fruit. Makes a great dessert for a crowd. She is 50 yrs old now and a very accomplished lawyer, mom, wife and lives in our Maritimes.

[@hollycampbell4103]

I make jello for grandson. I think he'll love this, thanks for posting this one Kevin!

[@MissMiyakosKitty]

I think my parents' generation just missed the jelly and jello craze. Although my grandparents always did have packets of jelly and the like in storage. Rarely, if ever used after the grandkids came along, I feel. My granny passed away last year and as we cleaned out her kitchen cupboards, indeed what we found was a bunch of (very old!!) boxes and packets of jelly and custard desserts. After watching you make this, I'm very tempted to find me some jello and try my hand at it. Looks lovely!!

[@ladyw605]

Yum-sounds so delicious. I grew up in the 60’s-born in 1955. My mother and both my grandmothers made a wonderful lime congealed salad. There was no coconut in this salad-the recipe consisted of lime jello, cream cheese, mayonnaise, pineapple, chopped pecans and miniature marshmallows-sometimes they left out the marshmallows-I always loved it either way!!! Sure wish I had some right now.

[@WorldWideWebObserver]

Hello Kevin! I’ll bet you think about your mom every time you make this recipe. My grandmother used to make Jello salads often and added a variety of ingredients. Thanks for sharing your enjoyable videos!🌻

[@prarieborn6458]

Thank you Kevin, for this ‘Happy Hour” of jello salads!! It was fun.Your orange jello dessert popped up on my screen the other day, My son, passing by spotted the thumbnail , and went right out and got a box of orange jello!! Surprised, I asked what is this for? and he replied, its for you to make that orange dessert. Well, i didn’t get a chance to watch until now..My Vita-mix is packed away for lack of counter-space. I plan use my stand mixer to whip it into a mousse. Instead of ice cubes, I will use ice water and chill mixture unti it starts to thicken then whip,. Wish me luck. My son remembers a long ago camping trip with my Dad and step mother and she made an orange jello dessert.for us. This video was so nice, everyone sharing their jello memories.

[@roseyred72]

One of my fav desserts is orange jello salad with cottage cheese and cool whip. I really need to try this! Thank you for sharing this recipe!

[@1cynanne]

My mother was not fond of jello desserts. However there were times her work had dinners or gatherings. Someone would make green jello with carrots in it. I used to ask my mom find out how they made it. She would not because she didn’t like it. I remember they called t aspic salad. It tasted so good to me. Thanks for sharing

[@michaelgray1123]

Wow!!!! I haven't had this in 50+ years. Yes, every picnic, church event, or holiday, mom always made her famous jello salad. You brought back many fond memories. Thank-you for that.

[@bonniesoliz141]

Thank you for this recipe! I'm going to make it for Thanksgiving and want to put it in a graham crust. My Grandma would make Jello desserts at every holiday! I remember at Easter she would use egg shaped molds and fill them with lime or lemon jello, add shredded carrot or cabbage to it, serve it on individual plates on a leaf of lettuce and top it with a dollop of mayonnaise. And of course there was always the jello salads with walnuts or fruit cocktail. I have a big box full of my mothers very old cookbooks, and I will be looking for more salad recipes! Good memories, thank you! Have a Happy Thanksgiving :) to everyone!

[@19Celia57]

Kevin, I think your mother would be very proud that you are putting this out here for all of us to enjoy! My maternal grandmother would call us and tell us that were to come in for whatever meal she was making. Any protest was met with "But I've set Jell-o!" Like your mother, she would have all sorts of concoctions for us. I was never fond of her veggie mixes. I always thought that was just a mean way to get us to eat vegetabes! In a twist, I am now near-vegetarian. LOL Wonderful memories.

[@ime7918]

My mother made strawberry jello with canned fruit cocktail. When unmolded it was drizzled with syrup. So yum! This brings back good memories.

[@Franseenit2]

My quick and simple jello mix is: 1- 3 ounce pkg of raspberry jello and 1 cup of boiling water- when thoroughly dissolved add 1 can of cranberry whole berry sauce. That's it. Another is Orange jello with grated carrots - that's it! I keep/have eliminated, most of the cream cheese, whipping cream etc to keep calories, fat down.

Mom made Sunshine Salad. Orange jello, canned crushed pineapple, and grated carrot. It was refreshing and an easy way to get us to eat more fruits and veggies. She also made an excellent cranberry salad for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Our whole family loved it so much that my husband began calling it Franberry salad. We still make it, all these years later.

Back in 1971 my foster mom made lime jello in a round jello mold. In the jello was finely chopped celery, finely shredded carrots, chopped nuts, and I don't remember what else, but I do remember it was awesome!!! I'm doing low carb at the moment, so I think sugar free would make a delightful treat.

My mother used to make two layers of strawberry jello on top of lime jello then a layer of cream cheese mixed with walnuts .Then another two layers of lemon and orange jello . It was very good. For parties she would make a crown of jewels with cubes of different colors of jello mixed with cream and lady fingers all around it.

[@ndines6237]

Do you remember Jello 1-2-3? And I still love Watergate salad! My mom made jello salads and put them into those copper, (probably just tin) molds, and she’d turn them out on a bed of iceberg lettuce!

[@MaryLuminary]

I remember there seemed to be endless ways to make jello salad in those days. I'm sure that we had some style of jello salad at least once a week. It was part of my birthday party menu growing up. My mom made the basic fruit cocktail jello salad, and a cranberry orange cream cheese one for Thanksgiving. The cream cheese was more in chunks, and I think she put chopped walnuts in also. I remember the "Broken Glass" jello salad at Christmas, whipped cream -cream cheesy with chunks of different colored jello. The lime green salad you mentioned earlier in the video sometimes had cabbage and carrots in addition to the coconut. Fun childhood memories.♥️

[@germanaschuff3314]

Thanks for sharing memories and your recipe. I grew up in the 50ties in Germany and my mother used to make jellies too with different flavours and whiopped cream on top..

[@marysotheran6833]

The first thing I ever learned to cook in school cooking class was similar to this orange jello dessert of yours. It was called Citrus Whip. It's still makes my mouth water when I think of it. You might like to try slotting in a quarter cup of fresh lemon juice (substituted into the cold water). It will give the Orange flavour a wonderful tang.

[@sherrelstroot3034]

I grew up in the '50's & '60's. The Jello company put out a Jello cookbook. There were many great recipes. There were many questionable recipes as well ( like Barbecue Squares or Under the Sea Salad made with tuna).

[@SueCL1480]

Sherrel Stroot I have that jello cook book!

[@loiscreighton5798]

I have lately become quite interested in family food histories and how those get passed on or lost. My family didn't regularly have dessert but I do remember mixing up Jello with my maternal grandmother who lived with us. Then last year, after having over 40 Thanksgivings with my sister’s family, I made my first Thanksgiving dinner (and cooked my first whole turkey) for my small local family because we weren’t having the large family gathering. After planning the menu and such, I asked my son and daughter-in-law what would cause them disappointment if they didn’t see it on the Thanksgiving table. My son immediately mentioned his paternal grandmother’s Orange Jello Salad (dry jello, cottage cheese, Cool Whip, and drained pineapple and Mandarin oranges) because that was at every holiday gathering with his grandparents. Of course, I added everything they mentioned to the menu and didn’t subtract anything. We had a lot of leftovers! Ha!

[@kevinleejacobs1364]

What a great story. You made your first Thanksgiving dinner plus lots of great memories for your son and daughter-in-law!

[@jendyson6729]

my mom in law (born in 1928) was also called the Jello queen. You could tell the formality of the dinner by what type of Jello "salad" (I think it's funny we call them salads) she made. Plain Jello was whipped and various fruits etc could be added, my kids loved it because it was definitely more of a dessert with the main course than an actual salad. I read that Jello became so popular at a certain time because it meant you had a refrigerator (instead of an ice box) so it was bit of a status symbol to serve Jellos. I loved all of them with the exception of my moms "perfection salad" which was more of a clear aspic with veggies and olives suspended in it, so ghastly~ Don't know how that one became popular, lol. Thanks for sharing your food memories I was a little kid in the 60's too. 😀

Did your mother ever make a dark green jello with something crunchy inside like shredded lettuce or dare I say, cabbage? A relative of mine used to always serve it as a first course on a leaf of iceberg lettuce. It seemed to be lime flavored jello. Here’s the weird part- I loved it! I’ve been looking for it all over the internet and I cannot find it! She passed away when I was young and not concerned about cooking so I didn’t think to ask about it. I think all of her recipes are gone.

[@prarieborn6458]

Could the crunchy part posiblbly have been slices of peeled english cucumber? i used to make a “mock apple” lime jello salad with sugar free jello., when I was dieting and worked at a diet center. It was almost carb-free.and satisfied the craving for apples.if you put the cucumbers into the jello while it is still hot, they will take up the lime flavor , or any flavor of jello., and remain crisp..

Ha ha, Kevin...my mother too! Jello was a daily event..especially in summer. I liked the gold sheet cake poked with holes and filled with strawberry Jello, spread with the ever present Cool Whip then refrigerated. I also remember Jello was a sponsor of the Jack Benny show "There's always room for Jello!" 😂 Vegan now...no jello...but I may have gotten my fair share in the 60s.

Oh, oh, oh! The sheet cake filled with strawberry jello sounds awesome. If you have a recipe, please post it in the comments here. I want to try it!

Ohmygosh I forgot until you mentioned it! Sheet cake with jello poured into the holes. Then whipped cream. Brought me back! 💗🍥🏵️

@@kevinleejacobs1364 Copied from my Mother’s recipe box. There are no times for chilling and I question beating the pudding mix for 8 minutes. Also don’t know if Dream Whip still exists. Ice Box Cake 1 box Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme cake 1 small box Lime or Strawberry Jello 1 small box instant vanilla pudding 1 pkg Dream Whip Mix and bake cake in rectangular pan according to package. When cool poke holes 1 inch apart all over cake with toothpick or skewer. While cake cools, mix jello with ¾ c hot water then an additional ½ c cold water. When jello and cake are cool, pour jello evenly over cake and refrigerate. Topping Chill bowl in freezer for ½ hour. Beat 1 pkg Dream Whip and 1 box vanilla pudding with 1 and ½ cups cold milk for 8 minutes. Spread on cake and put back in fridge to chill.

My mother made jelly salad. Green jello, celery, grated carrot, and diced cucumber. I still make this today. Or just plain jello. 🇨🇦

[@innershifttv]

My grandmother’s jello salad was lime jello with cream cheese, celery, mandarin oranges, sometimes pineapple and served it on a bed of, yes, iceberg lettuce with a drizzle of Miracle Whip mayo thinned with a little milk and sprinkled with paprika. Yes, to mandarin oranges!

I’m absolutely making this…TODAY 😊❤ Thank you, looking forward to all your recipes 😊

[@kaywallace6139]

Your story about your Mother being the Jello Queen was precious.😊

[@kellydinatti4257]

my mom made jello with a pint of ice cream. Same technique - sometimes incorporating mimi marshmallows

[@regianl8721]

Yes…! My mom would make strawberry jello or any flavor and add fruits like in Mexico. I remember in the late 60’s the popular salad was “ambrosia “ or Cherry jello salad. Buy them we resided in the USA. Good memories! 👍🏻☺️🌎

Hi Kevin .Ohio here. I'm a new subscriber and have already tried 3 of your recipes. Delicious and a bit of fancy ..I love it! My husband is more of a lemon lover compared to orange so I switched the jello recipe from orange to lemon. Light .creamy..cool and slightly decadent. I really enjoy your channel. Oh and ..I am so happy to hear that you and Mr Fox spread your love and generosity to Blinkie's mother. My heart feels for her.
