Anyone remember the Jello Whip N Chill?

[mixfinder]

It's Beat and Eat and I Helped!

Any recipe that uses a mixer has a leg up in my world. Lots of Jello "salad" recipes in mom's repetoire and they had steps of stirring, adding, whipping and folding. When we didn't have fresh cream from the cows, we'd use evaporated milk. Chill it in the freezer and then whip it stiff, folding it into the jello to mask the taste. Our church did an annual Homecoming Dinner with Turkey and all the trimmings. They served perfection sald. Lime jello, shredded cabbage, carrot and crushed pineapple, perched on a lettuce leaf with a dollop of mayonaise. I made a Whip and Chill pie at my aunt's house and folded in strawberries. It didn't set and when she served some to my cranky uncle he said, "am I supposed to eat this or has it already been eaten!"

Remember it well, Spiceman! Look up further in the thread and there is a recipe that apparently recreates it. I didn't and don't still understand how it works, but I liked it!

It's not that easy to find even here in Atlanta. Publix carries it, so do some delis. There are plenty of online outlets where you can get it. Sadly, the diet version has been discontinued; I have to take it very easy with sugar-sweetened soft drinks due to health issues. But once in a while, I treat myself to a good old Cel-Ray, sugar and all.

For those of you who cannot imagine a celery-flavoured soda, it tastes something like ginger ale, with a difference that is undefinable until you know what it's made from.

How you get the 3 layers

What happens before the gelatin sets is that the liquid divides by density. The lowest layer is mostly fruit flavored gelatin, the middle layer is and creamy chiffon like layer of the fruit flavored gelatin the top layer is a foam to the whipped topping lightly tinted and flavored. How may flavors were there of the packaged 1,2,3? I remember lime and strawberry, was orange flavor available too?

Thanks for that explanation! I don't remember what all flavors there were, but it was cool! Going to try the recipe at some point!

Oh yeah loved Great Shakes too

Remember the Great Shakes mixes very well and still have one of their brown two tone shakers. The shaker had the measure marked inside for the 8 oz of milk needed for each packet of mix. They surface at garage sales and in flea markets frequently. The had chocolate, vanilla, strawberry and chocolate fudge. I found the chocolate fudge too dark and even a little bitter. I thought it neat how the shake mix packets had triangular profiles. You could buy the shake mixes with the shaker and also buy refills of just the shakes mixes.

We had one of those shakers. I think it only ever got used once for its intended purpose, but my mom used it for all sorts of other things.

Talk about a trip down memory lane

Whip 'n Chill, Dreamwhip, Jello 123, Space Sticks, Shake a Puddin', Great Shakes.

The jingle, sounding like the Beach Boys, to Shake a Pudding is going through my head right now: Shake, Shake, Shake a pudding; pudding, pudding shake a pudding ...

Rob.

Jello 123

Well then, here's a timely entry from an MSN slideshow of discontinued products.

Jell-O 1-2-3 debuted in 1969, offering consumers a new wrinkle in homemade desserts. Jell-O gelatin itself was nothing new by that time; the product had been concocted in 1897. But what made this version of the product different was that once it was mixed with boiling water and set aside to cool, it would separate into three layers: a clear bottom, a chiffon middle and a creamy top.

After a few decades, the novelty may have worn off, and the product was discontinued in 1996 due to declining sales.

To console any remaining disappointed fans, Kraft recently added a recipe to its Web site showing how to make a similar dessert using sugar-free Jell-O and Cool Whip Lite.
