Nutty and fruit-filled might not sound like the proper words to describe Jello, the fun-colored treat we all enjoyed in our youth and most of us never outgrow. It’s the one food we can play with, it’s the food to eat when you’re feeling a little under the weather, and it’s usually guaranteed to put a smile on your face, especially the jello recipe I stumbled upon on I’m More than My Microwave.

Marta’s Aunt Carole’s Famous Jello is colorful, fruity, nutty and even creamy! Who knew that jello could be more than just jiggly :)! This is a dessert that Marta likes to prepare for her kiddos; she says that when they were younger, she omitted the nuts, but it still qualifies as a unique dessert. How is that? This jello is different because it includes sour cream!

You’ll also find maraschino cherries and crushed pineapple all hidden within a green lime flavored jello mold. This is the sweet to bring to a party. Who needs fruit salad when you can have the fruit inside of your favorite jiggly dessert?
