JELLO SHEET (POKE CAKE) CAKE FROSTING
This is the original recipe for the Jell-o sheet cake frosting from the 1970's. I had to search Mom's recipes to find it as the new recipe just uses Cool Whip alone. The only change it to Cool Whip from dream whip to save a step. Everyone loves it.

JELLO WHIP FROSTING
I'm a big fan of using Jello Instant Pudding and Cool Whip as a frosting for cupcakes, so I assumed there must be a typically-used fruity Instant Jello equivalent. Long story short, there was not. I put this together using some of the bits and pieces of recipes I could find, and some spur-of-the-moment thinking when I thought it was going to go all wrong. My first attempt was using raspberry flavour on chocolate cupcakes, but experiment with different flavours and see what you like best!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven as directed on cake mix box. Follow directions for making a 9X13 cake including all ingredients called for on the box. Bake cake as instructed.
- 2. About 5 minutes before the cake is done, in a small bowl, mix jello powder and 1 1/4 cup hot water. Stir until dissolved. NOTE: You do not use the amount of water called for to make regular jello.
- 3. When cake is done, let it cool 5 minutes. Poke the cake with a fork or a kebab pole all over the top of the cake going down to the bottom of the pan. Make sure you get the edges and corners.
- 4. Using a tablespoon, slowly drip the dissolved hot jello over the cake, taking care to get all of the holes. Cool cale completely and put in refrigerator to continue to cool and set- about 4 hours.
- 5. I use this frosting on my poke cakes. I sometimes match the flavor but you can mix it up to make it match holiday colors, shower color or birthday party colors. It's called Butter and Cream Cheese Frosting: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/dessert/dessert-cake/butter-and-cream-cheese-frosting.html?p=3 Once your cake is frosted, cover and chill it a couple more hours or overnight to let all the flavors set and frosting set up.

JELLO FROSTING RECIPE - (3.7/5)

Steps:
- Place the above ingredients in a large GLASS OR METAL mixing bowl (OF A STAND MIXER). Turn the mixer on high just as you add ½ cup of boiling water. Whip on high for five minutes NOTE: This recipe only seems to work if you use a stand mixer, with whisk attachment. Also, make sure you use a glass or metal mixing bowl, do not try this with a plastic bowl. NOTE: Some people have commented that they don't think raw egg whites are safe for children to eat. The egg whites in this recipe are no longer raw after you add the BOILING WATER. NOTE: This recipe makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes, or a 9 x 13 cake. If you are going to do any piping or edges, you might have to double the recipe. NOTE: This frosting pipes beautifully and holds its shape well. Like any 7 minute type frosting, it does get a little sticky/tacky the second day, so its best if you make it the day you want to serve it. If you have to make it the night before, just store it in an airtight container that doesn't touch the frosting. NOTE: This frosting has so many fun possibilities for birthday cakes/cupcakes. It would also make a wonderful filling.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe fruit for the best flavor. If using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
- If you want a thicker frosting, add more powdered sugar. For a thinner frosting, add more milk or water.
- Taste the frosting before serving and adjust the sweetness to your liking.
- Jello frosting is best served immediately after making. If you need to store it, keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days. Before serving, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Jello frosting can be used to top cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and other desserts. It can also be used as a dip for fruit or pretzels.
Conclusion:
Jello frosting is a delicious, versatile frosting that is easy to make. It is perfect for topping cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and other desserts. With so many different flavors of Jello to choose from, you can create a frosting that is perfect for any occasion.
