Notes

The Cool Whip can be replaced with real whipped cream, if preferred. Beat together 1 & 1/2 cups cold heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until it reaches stiff peaks.
Don’t have a jello mold? If you don’t have a jello mold and don't want to buy one, you can use a 9×13 pan and just slice and serve from there – no need to invert onto a plate. The presentation won't be as nice, but it is simpler and still just as delicious!
