Instructions
1. Prepare the Dish
Clear space in your refrigerator for a 9×13-inch glass casserole dish so it’s ready when you need it.
2. Dissolve the Gelatin
In a medium bowl, combine the raspberry gelatin with 2 cups boiling water. Whisk until fully dissolved (about 1–2 minutes).
3. Cool Slightly
Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes until it’s warm—not hot.
4. Fold in Whipped Topping
Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping using a spatula. Mix until smooth and evenly pink.
5. Add Raspberries
Fold in about 1½ cups raspberries, keeping some whole for texture and color.
6. Assemble
Pour into the casserole dish and smooth the top. Scatter remaining raspberries over the surface.
7. Chill
- Refrigerate uncovered for 30 minutes
- Cover and chill for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight for best results)
8. Serve
Let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving. Scoop into bowls or clear glasses for a pretty presentation.

Variations & Tips
Make it kid-friendly:
Swap raspberries for sliced strawberries or seedless grapes.
Use sugar-free options:
Choose sugar-free gelatin and light whipped topping for a lighter version (note: texture may be softer).
Add more fruit:
You can add up to ½ cup extra berries—but avoid too much to prevent a watery texture.
Layered version:
Create a trifle-style dessert by layering half the mixture, adding berries, then topping with the rest.
Individual servings:
Divide into small jars or cups before chilling—perfect for parties.
Holiday twist:
Top with:
- Fresh mint leaves
- White chocolate shavings
- Blueberries for a red, white & blue theme
Storage
