Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure that the Jell-O and gelatin are fully dissolved before adding any additional ingredients.

If you want a vegan version, try using agar-agar as a substitute for gelatin and make sure your whipped topping is dairy-free. Chill the finished product longer for a firmer consistency.
