I just had to post this recipe I found on Cooks.com. I love jello cake and was wanting something to replace the coolwhip with. This recipe was a great success. My Dad didn't even realize it was coolwhip substitute until after he'd eaten quite a bit of it.(how perceptive ). It can be a bit sweet so I recommend spreading just enough to cover the cake (also great on graham crackers).
Jello Frosting: 1cup sugar 1/2cup water 2tsp. Jello powder ( any flavor) 1/4tsp. cream of tartar 1 egg white 1/4tsp. vanilla
Mix sugar and water in saucepan and heat on medium heat until sugar dissolves. Add Jello flavoring and boil for 2 minutes. Add cream of tartar and boil 3 1/2 to 4 minutes more. Remove from heat.
Place egg white in separate mixing bowl. Add hot mixture as you are mixing with an electric mixer at high speed. Beat until high peaks form. Add vanilla and beat 1 or 2 more minutes. Spread and enjoy!
*Keeps for 3 to 4 weeks in a tightly covered jar if beaten 2 or 3 minutes before using.
