A creamy, fruity layered dessert with raspberry, banana, and pineapple flavors, topped with sour cream. Perfect for summer gatherings or special occasions, offering a refreshing treat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dissolve the raspberry Jello in 3 cups of hot water.
- Add the thawed frozen raspberries with juice, mashed bananas, and drained crushed pineapple to the Jello mixture.
- Pour half of the mixture into a mold and let it set until firm.
- Spread sour cream over the set Jello layer.
- Cover with the remaining Jello mixture and refrigerate until fully chilled and set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the Jello is completely dissolved before adding the fruits. You can substitute fresh raspberries for the frozen ones, but be aware that the texture may differ slightly. If you're looking for a twist, try adding a splash of lemon juice to enhance the fruit flavors. This dessert can also be layered with other fruits like bananas or pineapples for variety, similar to the Rotini (Worm) Salad.
Serving Suggestions
This Raspberry Jello Supreme is perfect as a light dessert for summer gatherings or picnics. Serve it chilled as a refreshing treat on a hot day, perhaps alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added creaminess. It pairs beautifully with Sweet Caramel Dip for a fun twist, or you can enjoy it on its own for a fruity finish to any meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, simply scoop out the desired amount and enjoy cold. Avoid freezing as the texture of the Jello and sour cream may become grainy once thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other flavors of Jello?
Yes, feel free to experiment with different flavors of Jello, such as strawberry or mixed berry, for a unique taste. Just keep in mind that the flavor profile will change, and you may need to adjust the sweetness based on your chosen flavor.
Is there a way to make it less sweet?
To reduce the sweetness, consider using less Jello or adding extra fruit, such as more raspberries or even a tart fruit like cranberries. You can also opt for a sugar-free Jello version, which will help cut down on the overall sweetness.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, substitute the sour cream with a plant-based alternative, such as coconut yogurt or cashew cream. Ensure the Jello you use is vegan-friendly, as some brands may contain gelatin derived from animal products.
