Description
A colorful and delightful Fruity Jello dessert that combines layers of flavored gelatin with fresh fruits, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 packages (3 oz each) flavored gelatin (choose your favorites like strawberry, orange, and lime)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup mandarin oranges, drained
- 1 cup kiwi, peeled and diced
- 1 cup whipped cream (for topping)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved. Add the flavored gelatin packets one at a time, mixing well until fully dissolved. Pour in the remaining 2 cups of cold water and mix well. Allow to cool slightly.
- Pour a portion of the gelatin into a clear glass dish to cover the bottom (about 1/3 of the mixture) and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Distribute the sliced strawberries over the first gelatin layer, then pour another portion of the gelatin mixture over the strawberries. Return to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
- Repeat the layering process with mandarin oranges, gelatin, kiwi, and gelatin until all fruits are used and the dish is filled. Allow the final layer to set completely for about 2 hours.
- Once set, top each serving with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint leaves. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh fruits for the best taste and texture.
- Frozen fruits can be used but may release extra moisture.
- Experiment with different flavors of gelatin and fruits.
- Consider using sugar substitutes for a healthier option.
