Equipment
- Large Pot
- Mixing Bowl
- Blender
Ingredients
- 4 ounces gelatin mix
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- ice cubes ice cubes
- 1/2 cup thawed whipped topping
Instructions
- Start by dissolving the gelatin mix in the boiling water. Take a large bowl, pour in the water, and gradually add the gelatin mix, stirring continuously. You’ll notice the vibrant color of the mix changing as it dissolves. This should only take a couple of minutes.
- Next, prepare your cooling mixture. In a separate measuring cup, combine enough ice cubes with cold water to make a total of 1 and 1/4 cups. This step is crucial as it will help cool the gelatin mixture down quickly.
- Once the gelatin is fully dissolved, pour the cold water and ice mixture into the bowl with the gelatin. Stir gently to combine everything. You’ll feel the temperature drop as the ice melts, making it easier to work with.
- Now it's time for blending! Transfer the gelatin mixture to a blender, covering it tightly. Blend for about 30 seconds until it’s frothy and well combined. Watch as the mixture transforms into a light concoction.
- Add the whipped topping to the blender. Cover it again and blend until it’s smooth and creamy. This will give the dessert its unique texture, making each bite delightful.
- Prepare your dessert dishes. I recommend using clear cups or small bowls to showcase the layers. Pour the mixture evenly into the dishes, filling them about 2/3 full. This allows room for additional layers if you decide to get creative.
- Finally, cover the dishes with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator. Let them set for at least 20 minutes, or until they’re firm. I like to check the consistency after 15 minutes—if they’re not quite ready, it’s okay to let them chill a bit longer.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The dessert stays fresh and delicious!
- Freezing: While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can freeze the dessert for up to a month. Just make sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before serving.
- Pairing: This dessert pairs well with a dollop of fresh cream or a sprinkle of fruit. Consider serving it alongside a light salad for a refreshing meal.
- Flavor Combinations: Don’t hesitate to mix flavors! Combine different fruit juices or use a flavored gelatin mix for unique layers.
- Color Themes: Choose colors based on the season or occasion, like pastel colors for spring or bright colors for summer parties!
