Raspberry-Banana Gelatin Dessert: Pink Ribbon Recipe

Raspberry-Banana Gelatin Dessert: Pink Ribbon Recipe

Hi everybody :) 

The mixing of ice cream with jello, is what caught my attention in this recipe. I wondered how it would taste, so I had to try it out.  

This recipe may be a good choice for cancer patients because it's great for nausea, mouth sores, and diarrhea, three of the most common side effects of cancer treatments.  During times of nausea, gelatin can help settle the stomach. Eating crackers and dry toast can help combat nausea in the morning and drinking plenty of fluids can be a big help also.

2 medium bananas, thinly sliced

What I Did and/or Think:
I followed the recipe as stated. I divided the jello into 2 mini trifle dishes and a small heart-shape mold because I didn't have a  2 quart mold. 

The ice cream gave the jello a creamy texture.

The Taste: I LOVE IT! I can't wait to try it out with different flavors of jellos ice creams, or  fruits! This is another Great REPEAT!
