Storing this Strawberry Jello Salad
Store the leftover salad inside an airtight container, or cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, for up to 3 days. The marshmallows will start to soften and get to mushy after 3 days.
You can also add pineapple tidbits for another delicious twist.
In a hurry? You can put the jello/pudding mixture into the freezer to set up and it will be ready to mix in about an hour.
This recipe to makes 10-12 servings, but you could easily cut it in half (use the small boxes of jello and only one 8 ounce container of Cool Whip) if you need less.
To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend making it more than 1 day in advance.
I find that the juice from the strawberries will make the salad runny.
For best results, make this salad the same day that you plan on eating it.
I have not made this salad using sugar-free jello or pudding, but in everything that I have read about sugar-free jello, it should still work out great for this recipe!
If you try it with sugar-free jello, leave a comment below and let us know how it worked.
I have never tried making this recipe without cool-whip – the cool whip is needed to get that fluffy texture.
If you use fresh whipped cream, I am afraid that you will not get the same fluffy consistency and this recipe will not turn out the way that it’s supposed to.
