Jell-o Mold

Ah yeah the tried and true Jell-o mold. I happen to love Jell-o it's amazing stuff. What else can you think of be molded, whipped, drank, froze, and anything else you want to achieve. i will share my own recipe for a Jell-o mold that i made for Easter Dinner.

I decided to make a mold that had a tropical flair. Yellow layer is island pineapple, white layer is pina colada , orange is apricot, white again, and red is island fruit.

you can make this salad any flavor you want, this is what i happened to make.

the regular Jell-o layers are a full box of Jell-o deluded half strength. I use just enough water to dissolve the sugars. then use cold water to bring it to a cup.

White layer:

1-8oz tub Greek yogurt or sour cream

1-box cream cheese

1 6oz can pineapple juice

1 box Knox unflavored gelatin

1 tsp coconut flavoring

1/2 tsp Vanilla

salt to taste

1/2 c sugar.

Whip all ingredients together. take out 1/3rd of the batch when ready to layer the mold. use just enough hot water to dissolve 1& 1/2 packets of Knox. whip into bowl and layer. When it come time for the 2nd white layer add 2& 1/2 packets of Knox to the remainder.

Let each layer set well before moving to the next layer. it doesn't take to long and has a really fun wow factor!

If you don't want the pina colada flavor you can leave out the pineapple juice and coconut flavoring. just whip in a tub of cool whip and any flavor you wish.

Just play with it and have fun. great for 4th of July or a baby shower instead of cake.
