Seafoam Jello

From Wendy's friend Rachel Johnson in NY
Ingredients:
1 Large Jello

1 1/2 c. Boiling water

12 Ice cubes

8 oz. yogurt (use the same flavor as Jello packet)

8 oz. cool whip

*Dissolve Jello into boiling water, make sure the jello is well dissolved, I use a wire whisk and beat it until it gets bubbly.  Then pour into a large bowl or I use my Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.

Add 12 cubes of ice, whisk until ice cubes are completely dissovled. When dissolved, add yogurt and 8 cool whip. Mix with a hand mixer until smooth and foamy!  I use my Kitchen Aid mixer.  I cover it with a Kitchen towel because it will splatter.  I then slowly turn it up to med/high and let it beat for a good 2 minutes.

Pour into a 9x13 pan and allow several hours to set up! (At least 3-4 hrs.)  You can also pour it into individual cups to have a fun way to serve it and less mess for kids.  If you use the pan, cut into squares to serve.  Enjoy!!
