Our frozen creamy lime Jello is one of our favorite ways to make jello! If you haven’t noticed by now, we love our Jello recipes! Growing up, we usually had jello as a SIDE DISH for Sunday dinner – and it was my favorite! Our Strawberry Fluff Jello Salad was the dish I looked forward to the most (have you tried it?! There is a reason why it’s our most popular Jello salad)!

How to Make Our Frozen Creamy Lime Jello

In a saucepan, bring pineapple and sugar to full rolling boil on stove-top; remove from heat.
Stir in box of jello and let cool.
In a separate bowl, whip whipping cream (unflavored – don’t worry about adding any sugar because this dish is sweet enough). Fold in sour cream to whipped cream, then add to jello mix and whip until it’s completely mixed together.
Line bottom of 9 x 5″ loaf pan with wax paper. Gently pour creamy jello mix into prepared pan.
Cover with aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4-6 hours (preferably overnight).
When ready to eat, remove from the freezer and let it sit for 5 minutes.
Slice in half lengthwise, and then into ¾” slices.

Questions & Reviews

Hector & Lauren says:

I am so excited about this blog! I found it through a friend’s posting on Facebook…and this looks exactly like the kinds of food I love (I first saw the orange chicken). Thanks for sharing your recipes with everyone!!!

Jessica says:

i wonder if you could pour this into popsicle molds? 🙂

Six Sisters says:

We’ve made this so many times and I think it would work great. What a fun idea! -The Six Sisters

Debbie says:

Can you use cool whip instead of whipping cream in this recipe?

Cyd says:

Not in this recipe. It only works well as instructed in the directions. But we do have some jello salads that use cool whip on our blog.

Linda White (Steinquist I) says:

I’m loving it! Jell-O products are my favorite thing when I want to make a Sweet Dessert or as a salad side with a dinner I live here in Florida. – originally from Illinois. . Year’s ago In the local news paper, someone requested a Christmas Jell-O layered Salad (3 flavored layers) I wrote back and gave them the recipe for Christmas: I also added on different Holidays -(like Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, and St. Patrick’s day ) – changing the colors and flavor’s for each Holiday.

Martha says:

This recipe looks wonderful as I make modified (low carb) Jello salads all the time with different flavored Jellos and fruit. This is the first time I’ve seen a recipe for a frozen jello and it looks great but I am having a problem with your listed carbs of 212. This is a OMG! Most recipes list carbs per serving. Does this relate to the whole pan? I find it difficult to believe that this would be for only 1 serving. I am a diabetic who needs to follow every carb as it determines the size of my insulin injection. Most every recipe, I can reduce carbs even more, making almost every recipe, edible for a diabetic, but this recipe, as written with those high carbs, I wouldn’t be able to touch. Please clarify as my “carb counter” application does not support this. Thanks.

Momma Cyd says:

Thanks for catching that. We made edits and have now calculated the recipe as if you sliced it into 8 slices. It will be even less if you sliced it into 10 slices.

Connie Landefeld says:

Is there a sauce to put over this? My mom used to make this and had a sauce.

Momma Cyd says:

We have never had a sauce with this Creamy lime Jello. We would love to hear more about the sauce. Sounds interesting!

Connie Landefeld says:

I don’t have the recipe at hand. It had pineapple and lemon juice. So extra pineapple flavor. It was a holiday favorite.
