You know I love a good no bake moment, and this Blueberry Cool Whip Mousse is basically the fairy godmother of effortless desserts! It’s light, fluffy, full of vibrant berry flavor, and—get this—it only takes three ingredients. THREE! You probably have them in your kitchen right now. Which means you’re just a chill sesh away from dessert heaven!
Now let’s talk about the real MVPs here: my grandbabies! They love helping me make this mousse, especially when it comes time to layer the whipped topping and sprinkle that magical blue sugar on top. It’s the kind of recipe where the messier it gets, the cuter it is. Plus, no hot ovens = safe little sous chefs!
Oh, and if you're planning a baby shower, this is the dessert to make. The berry blue Jello is perfect for baby boy parties, and you can easily switch it up for a girl-themed gathering—just grab strawberry or cherry Jello and go wild with pink sprinkles! ✨
Ingredients
- 1 (3 oz) package berry blue Jello
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tsp blue sugar sprinkles (optional but… c’mon, they’re sprinkles)
Tools You’ll Need:
Measuring cup, small saucepan, medium bowl, spoons, and some cute little serving cups or jars!
Directions
Pour the Jello powder into a medium heat-safe bowl.
Boil 1 cup of water, then pour it over the gelatin. Stir for 2–3 minutes until it’s completely dissolved (seriously, don’t rush this part or you’ll get weird Jello clumps and nobody wants that).
Stir in 1 cup of cold water.
Pop the bowl into the fridge and chill for about 4 hours, until it’s firm and jiggly.
To assemble, layer scoops of the set Jello and whipped topping into small cups—3 to 4 layers is ideal for that “Pinterest-perfect” look.
Add a big ol’ dollop of whipped topping on top, toss on some sprinkles, and serve with a smile (and maybe a spoonful for yourself first because you earned it).
Fun Tips & Swaps
- Switch the flavor: Any Jello works! Try raspberry, strawberry, or even lemon for a zingy twist.
- Party pretty: Layer in mason jars or wine glasses for a fancier vibe.
- Make it pink: Swap in pink Jello and red or pink sprinkles for a girly twist—hello, baby girl shower goals!
- Add fruit: Drop a few blueberries or raspberries between layers if you're feeling fancy.
