Jello and fruit based mousse dessert highly favored by children and adults. Summer Saturdays this dessert was always in the fridge during my childhood. With 5 children my mother had to watch her food budget and still fill us all up. Posting here to keep safe and offer a dessert that is a mouthful of creamy delight and brings back summer memories. Use 1/4 cup lemon juice if lemon is desired or 1 10oz container of frozen drained strawberries with juice for strawberry.
