I bet they originally used Dream Whip. Love jello recipes. Such a comfort food.

My mom made it for my sister's wedding in 1960. Strawberry and lemon. It used whipped milnot.

Jello was good at advertising by putting simple and delicious recipes in home and cooking type magazines. I've enjoyed many of their recipes. Cool Whip has also been good at showing how to used their product.

@@rubyanderson8800 What is milnot? I've never heard of it.

Did you watch the video did you make it so then you complain about it

Yesss! I wanted to say the same thing. Different knives for different cutting

She does claim it is healthy though. And while better than most desserts, it isn't really healthy.

Amen ...I agree they need stop bitching. If they don't want the calories then don't eat sweets lol.pretty simple. .but dam back off and leave along the ones who likes sweets

Haters will always find someplace to troll and spread hate. Sad but true.

I'm not complaining. It's called free speech!

I live in Canada, and we live have socialized medicine. Nevertheless, as the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. We pay for that healthcare (as bad as it is) with our taxes. When I go into emergency for a legitimate problem (the last time I went was because I had sustained a concussion), I get very angry when I see people who weigh 300+ pounds. While they're waiting to be seen by a doctor, they have gone to a vending machine and are eating a bag of chips or a chocolate bar. (The hospital is blameworthy here too, because I don't know why they have to have garbage like that available to patients.) Then, I find out that these obese people who are eating junk have come into the hospital because their diabetes is going out of control. Well, you could say that it's no skin off my nose. In fact, it is, because I am paying for the health care that they need. If they took better care of themselves, they wouldn't be such a drain on the system. As for reading these recipes, until we start reading them, we don't know what we're getting. I avoid processed foods for a couple of reasons. First, I will admit that I need to lose some weight. I take medication that causes weight gain, so I am fighting an uphill battle. Nevertheless, just to keep my conscience clear, I am very careful about what I eat. I also see a nutritionist on a regular basis. Right now, our current goal is to find sources of protein that don't cause weight gain. The nutritionist feels that my efforts to lose weight are causing me to get inadequate protein. Second, I have allergies to contend with, so I have to be super careful about things like MSG or sesame. Third, I am visually-impaired. When I am in a grocery store, I don't have the appropriate visual aids to help me read ingredients. Therefore, I do a lot of cooking from scratch. Tomorrow night, for example, I will be cooking navy bean soup. I have the dried navy beans here in my kitchen, so hopefully I will remember to soak them tonight, and I'll make the soup tomorrow. The only questionable ingredient in the soup is the hambone. Otherwisea in it are navy beans, lots of onions, peppercorns, a bay leaf, and water. Not exactly high in fat, and the protein for the most part comes from the beans. Tonight, we're having pasta Puttanesca. The only problem with this dish is that there is really no protein, unless I sprinkle some Parmesan on my portion. Therefore, for lunch, I will have raw vegetables with hummus. For breakfast, I had fresh raspberries with skim milk, and a slice of whole wheat toast with a teaspoon of butter. I don't use margarine, because my nutritionist suggested that using margarine on toast just like melting down Tupperware and spreading the result on your bread. That has put me off margarine for life😄

Yum!

That's always how my mother made to too. I haven't had it for years.

pearl trotter that's what I was thinking

Thx!! I'm definitely trying that with Angel Food Cake.

That's what i thought she was going to do, but the way she made it looks good too!

SO!!!

@@ohcliff1030 rude f..k

Just like I used to do ice cream cookies and now they sell them in the stores lol

Sounds good with the pie filling,but how lo cal is it than. I can't do pineapples.

Aunt Kitty Hashtag I think Cliff said so because he’s trying to figure out what is totally insane. I wanted to know the same thing. Wasn’t going to be rude about it but what is “totally insane“?

No wonder he's a diabetic.

@@cathy9160 that's really uncalled for and she even said it would be easy to edit the recipe so it would be ok for him to eat despite being diabetic. So rude.

Hello, Dana. My dad was a diabetic as well. I don't recommend this dessert for him because the Angel Food cake is loaded with sugar. I know the young lady used a light whipped cream but for diabetics, the amount of sugar in a normal angel food cake is still too much for them. Cheers. 🍰

Annabelle Dee I have made this with sugar free angel food cake, sugarcfree cool whip and sugar free pudding and sugar free crushed pineapple or at least no sugar added pineapple and my mom, who is diabetic, can eat it.

@@annabelledee5978 9i

Oh that sounds yummy! Please let us know if that gives you a pina colada flavor!

@@jenniferhood142 It was excellent!!! 🍹🍹

Sounds yummy and fresh strawberries too!!! Maybe some extra coconut!!

Diane Blaylock

Why not add flaked coconut to the crushed pineapple? I think I will do that. But then I tend to get carried away with recipes like this. I'd probably add maraschino cherries too....which would turn it into a pretty pink fluff. I might forget the angel food cake altogether!

Anniefanny Charles I’m stickler for returning containers😝😆 I wouldn’t care if it only cost a dollar!👍🏻

Sounds yummy 😋

Nice x

Hi

@@carolevanoff9928 hello! :)

Rhonna Marsden yummmmmmy 😛

I add cup of cottage cheese and chopped nuts to mine family love it.

(: Thank you for this!!!!!..........☺ I just used the Jello pistachio & I was so disappointed of the taste! It was so artificial & it is modified! I was horrified especially being a brand that we always trusted!!!!! :( Do you use a better quality brand pistachio pudding????? Thanks!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!.................... ☺

Ooh I love Watergate salad, my aunt adds nuts and coconut to hers.

Watergate Salad

Lisalee m Extract?

Or REAL rum, lol

Abstract....lol. Oh boy.

I might agree, but 1) it would make this not a low-calorie dish, and 2) for the record, I have tried this with pound cake and I found the cake didn’t hold up as well as angel food does. It gets kinda mealy and soggy. Just my opinion.

@@scarlettvale617 yes pound cake wont hold up with having extra liquids on it. Its a butter cake. Angel food is technically a sponge cake. And sponge cakes are used in recipes that call for layering things like creams, milks, and syrups because they can hold up their shape withoit dizzolving. Tres leches cake with the sweet milk on the bottom layer is my favorite and its usually a sponge cake.

I'm going to try it

@@scarlettvale617 ummm sorry darlin there's nothing about this that's low calorie. I do agree with you though it would be soggy. Maybe like making individual plated desserts, putting it together right before serving. I'm southern I loveeeeee anything that involves butter.😂😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️

@@texasjaco9385 sugar-free pudding, lite Cool Whip, fat-free angel food cake? I think it’s considerably lower in calories than a lot of desserts! BTW, I make mine with all these ingredients, and I truly cannot taste the difference from full sugar ingredients. I do usually add pecans to it for a little something extra, and have also topped with chopped strawberries. Really, you can make this to suit yourself any way you like!

My ma loved walnuts and would put them in alot of things including green stuff. (Pistachio fluff)

Melt circus peanuts marshmallows in the hot jello.

Don't forget the canned mandarin oranges. Yummy!🍊 One of my favorite things in the world!!

Debra Conner I love canned mandarin oranges!!! I eat them right outta the can

Yes! I used to make that! Delicious!

I use buttermilk not cottage cheese as its lumpy texture. My mom started making it since late 70s. she recently found Jello recipe booklet from 1960s and I love it.

(: That is just as good too!!!!! ... 😚

Tiffany Dozier do you have pictures or a video of your dessert?

we do the cream cheese whip topping 7 up salad u ever had that , i think lime jellow with seven up in it, with pecans on top. i really need to write down the family favs over the years, i will.

That's how I make mine. We call it a Pig Eating Cake. It's hard to stop at just one piece lol

Your name is my favorite character from Gilligan's Island. 🏝⛵🤗

Good idea 👍

Oh that does sound delicious.

3 year's later😂 November 2020. I'm going to do it with 🍓 for 🎄. I'm already doing better than sex cake and lemon cake for Thanksgiving. Happy Holidays 2020🎵🎼🎶😊 Crazy year that's for sure.

Excellent suggestion!

Or how about fresh sliced strawberries? Yum! 😳

Lola Reh YES!!

That sounds delicious and it would look pretty too! I'm doing it! 😉

@@jillrayes6700 How did it cime out?

I would do half and half with pineapple and orange

Great idea! Or do a pinocolata...pineapple, coconut, and lime

@@maried3717 OMG YES!!🤤 I LOVE piña colada desserts!😍💜

That's exactly what it is

Melanie Space I bet that is so good. orange would be so good!

please share the recipe for the orange jello one

That sounds soooo good!!

Yum!

Wtf man.... Where's your video lol. Sounds awesome 😜

PinkProzac16 Yep you can go as fancy or fattening as you want lol. Some people use vanilla cake and add the cherries and I thought about doing it with strawberries instead of pineapple. Yum! Let me know how you like it!

JJ Cevering ....very interesting, I’m going to try it

@Dawn Green mine too

Megan Jinez You will love it! It really is so good!

That's great. Less sugar 👍🏻

@fook you >> lolol

Equate Bond Amen.

@Monica B You have me laughing so hard I'm crying..... Now my abs hurt too... LOL I was going to wait till tonight but since reading this I think I'll go into my frig and slice a piece of a chocolate cake that has raspberry filling and toasted coconut all over it that I made on Fri and eat the shit out of it, LMAO!!! Yep, still laughing....
