Notes from the card
Save the quarter cup first
It goes into the topping, not the base. Pull it the moment the jello dissolves — once the fruit is in, it's too late.
Spread gently
The card is explicit. The base needs to be fully set, and the topping goes on without dragging the surface.
One size
Every package here comes in exactly the amount called for, so there are no serving buttons. Double it by making two.
