Add 2 cups boiling water and stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup cold water and let cool to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes). Don&#8217;t let it set\u2014it should still be liquid.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Create the mousse layer:<\/strong> Once cooled, stir the Cool Whip into the jello mixture until smooth and creamy. It should have a light, airy texture.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Add Honeybells:<\/strong> Gently fold half of the Honeybell segments into the whipped jello mixture, distributing them evenly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Assemble first layer:<\/strong> Lightly spray a 9&#215;13 inch casserole dish (or similar size) with cooking spray. Pour the whipped jello mixture into the dish and spread evenly. Arrange the remaining Honeybell segments decoratively on top.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>First chill:<\/strong> Refrigerate for 30 minutes until slightly firm but not fully set. You should be able to touch the surface without it sticking to your finger.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Make the top layer:<\/strong> In a separate bowl, dissolve the remaining 3 oz peach jello powder with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then let cool to room temperature (this is important\u2014hot jello will melt the mousse layer).<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Add final layer:<\/strong> Carefully pour the cooled jello over the chilled whipped layer. The Honeybells should stay in place. If needed, use the back of a spoon to gently guide the liquid jello around any fruit that&#8217;s sticking up.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Final chill:<\/strong> Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight) until completely set and firm.<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"><strong>Serve:<\/strong> Cut into squares and serve chilled. The dessert will have beautiful layers\u2014creamy mousse on the bottom with suspended Honeybells, and clear jello with fruit on top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\">Tips for Success<\/h2>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Why Honeybells?<\/strong> Their exceptional sweetness and juiciness pair perfectly with peach flavor, and they&#8217;re seedless&#8230;no picking seeds out of your dessert! Their segments hold their shape beautifully when set in jello.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Cooling is key:<\/strong> Make sure both jello mixtures cool to room temperature before using. Hot jello will cause the Cool Whip to deflate or melt the first layer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Make ahead friendly:<\/strong> This dessert actually tastes better the next day once fully chilled.
