Your Three Ingredients

2. Whipped Topping (ex: Cool Whip)
3. Sour Cream

Can I Use Any Flavor of Jell-O?

Yes. Stick with a 3 oz box.  Do not make the Jell-O! You will only need the gelatin powder.  Also, you do not need to use "Jell-O" brand.  Any brand equivalent will work.  Same goes for a low sugar/sugar free options. 

Whipped Topping?

• AKA "Cool Whip.  Like the gelatin, you can use any brand or variety (low fat/fat free, etc.). Be sure it's thawed well before using. 
• Important:  If your weather is very hot/humid, do not let your whipped topping defrost at room temperature. It can may change the consistency of your whipped topping and it will not work in this recipe.  For hot/humid weather, it is best to let it thaw in your refrigerator. 

Sour Cream?

Yes, I now it sounds weird, but, it works.  If desired, you can use plain Greek yogurt, as a replacement.

Can I Add Fruit to This?

Yes. If needed, drain or pat dry the fruit beforehand.  You don't want to add any additional liquid to it. Once that is done, fold in your fruit when you add the whipped topping.
