How to Make frozen jello

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flavored gelatin powder with boiling water. Use a wire whisk to stir until fully dissolved.
2. Add cold water to the mixture and stir with a silicone spatula until well combined.
3. Pour the mixture into a baking dish or mold. If desired, add fresh fruit pieces and gently mix with a rubber spatula.
