Strawberry Poke Cake - Your Guests Will Do More Than Poke at This Dish!

If you love strawberry desserts like a strawberry pie jello recipe or plump, juicy strawberries with ice cream, you are going to love strawberry poke cake. A poke cake is made by poking holes in a baked cake and then pouring jello over the cake and allowing it to set.

jello shots

You can make small holes with a fork or bigger ones with a chopstick. Any flavor of jello is great for making poke cake recipes, although contrasting colors are good so strawberry or raspberry jello would look nice on a white cake and anything would go with a chocolate cake.

JELLO

Part of the appeal of poke cakes is how great they taste. Not only does the jello give a fruity flavor to the cake but also the whole cake is covered in jello, which gives it a great texture. If you accidentally overcook a cake and it comes out of the oven dry, you can pour jello over it to disguise the fact!

Poke cakes are great fun to make and that is true whether the kids are helping you to bake or whether you are doing it yourself. Poking the holes with the fork is fun and so is pouring the jello mixture over the cake and waiting patiently for it to set so you can have a big slice!

You can either serve a poke cake plain or garnish it with whipped cream and fresh fruit. If you do not use the cream and fruit, why not serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or some chocolate ice cream syrup, to dress it up a bit? This dessert is great for kids and adults alike. It is ideal for anyone who loves jello recipes and that includes nearly everybody.

Recipe for Strawberry Poke Cake

The following recipe makes a beautiful cake, which serves six people. You can use a cake mix, for convenience sake, and decorate the cake with the juiciest, plumpest fresh strawberries you can find, for spectacular results. Keep any leftover cake in the refrigerator.

What you will need:

3 oz package strawberry jello 1 package white cake mix Oil, eggs, and water (as specified on the cake mix container) 1 cup boiling water 12 oz whipped cream 12 fresh strawberries

How to make it:

Make the cake, following the instructions on the package. Bake the cake for about forty minutes or until it is done at 350 degrees F. Let it cool in the cake pan for fifteen minutes, and then let it finish cooling on a wire rack. Poke holes all over the cake using a fork.

Dissolve the strawberry jello in the boiling water and pour this mixture all over the cake. You should set the wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet to catch any jello drips. Chill the strawberry poke cake for four hours or until the jello has set. Decorate the cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

Nailing Jello To a Tree and Other Unproductive Endeavors

As I was thinking about a topic for this month's column, I was struck by the fact that a woman who taught me a lot about life and probably helped shape many of my perspectives, passed away three years ago last week...my Aunt Mary.

jello shot syringes

A very important person in my life, my Aunt Mary, who has passed on, taught me a lot as a kid that all of us should embrace in our quest for happiness, sanity and productivity.

JELLO

It's fitting that her wisdom would appear in my management writing since my business philosophy of Do business on your own terms! (R) and family first was heavily influenced by her. She raised 5 good kids and was able to maintain her humor, sanity and a positive outlook on life even during her last few years when she was quite sick.

Not one to waste time, or mince words, she was always ready with comfort, advice or admonishment when necessary. When the kids would get on her nerves and she needed a short break, she was famous for assigning the task, "Go nail Jello(R) to a tree or something, will you!" Clearly, this is a task that is pointless, fruitless and a visual that is just plain funny.

On the serious side though, how many of us can't find the humor in things, can't figure out a way to take a break or can't overcome everyday stress because we are spending way too much of our time focused on pointless and fruitless things? Is it because of some sense of misguided responsibility that we HAVE to do these things? Do we do them because we have allowed someone else to override our priorities with theirs? Or is it because we simply haven't stopped to think about and separate what's important from all of what I call, LifeClutter(c)?

Make yourself a promise that for one week you will force yourself to look at all of the things you 'have to do' every day and ask yourself, is this productive or pointless? Am I doing this because I truly have to or because it's a habit I can't break? Is it LifeClutter(c)?

One of my favorite questions is, "What could happen if I don't do this?" Based on the answer my follow-up question is, "Do I care about that outcome?" If the outcome isn't a problem, then I have the freedom to decide if I'm going to take action or not...ahh. Cleaning out the LifeClutter(c).

If you actually make time to do this exercise and examine how you spend your time, you will quickly find that just like that closet full of clothes you'll never wear again, there are a lot of things that can be given away (delegated) or simply discarded that will free up space for the good stuff.

Although nailing Jello(R) to a tree might be an amusing time waster, and it should probably become a YouTube video, I suggest that there are a lot of other unproductive time wasters in each of our lives that deserve to be cleaned out and thrown away so that we can fill life with the good stuff.

Incredibly Delicious Italian Dessert Recipes For Dessert Lovers

In the history of desserts, famous Italian dessert recipes definitely stand out. Italian desserts range in flavor from bitter to sweet and they go nicely with a glass of wine. In Italy, the locals are just as likely to eat a piece of fruit for dessert as an indulgent, creamy confection.

jello shot cups with lids

If you have visited an Italian bakery, you will have seen many different varieties of cookies and biscotti. The Italians like to dunk their biscotti in red wine. A lot of Italian cookies are sweet but not excessively so and light glazes often provide most of the flavoring. Nuts or candied fruit are often added too. Biscotti might be very popular in the United States but in Italy hard, slightly sweet twice baked cookies are more popular. They are baked twice to remove as much moisture as possible, which makes the cookies dry, crumbly, and hard.

JELLO

Which is the Most Famous Italian Dessert?

Tiramisu is thought to have originated in Siena. Duke Cosimo de Medici enjoyed it so much that it spread around the world with Italian immigrants. Tiramisu is a delicious combination of lady finger cookies, liquor, espresso, cocoa, mascarpone cheese, and eggs.

The best known Italian cake has to be panettone, which is from Milan. Boxes of this cake can be found in cafes and Italian bakeries during the holiday season all over the world. The fluffy panettone dough is flavored with raisins and candied fruit pieces and the cake is shaped like a dome. Italians enjoy panettone with zabaglione custard or mascarpone cheese and a glass of liqueur or dessert wine.

Perhaps you have tried Italian gelato. This is ice cream made with milk, sugar and flavoring. Sometimes it contains eggs and cream. Gelato is churned less than regular ice cream, making it less airy and more dense. Italian desserts are best eaten in moderation because a lot of them are very rich. If you find a lot of Italian desserts heavenly but a bit too rich, why not make your own and change the ingredients to tone them down a bit?

Using Jello in Italian Dessert Recipes

Gelato is a great candidate for experimentation with jello. Italian ice cream is nearly free of air, which makes it dense and super heavy. By combining gelato, boiling water, and jello powder, you can create a deliciously light dessert with a nice texture and any jello flavor you like. You can use sugar free jello to halve the calories because half the dessert is jello and the sugar free kind is also calorie free.

If you happen to own an ice cream machine, you can make gelato with kool aid and jello, which tastes great and makes a refreshing dessert on balmy summer evenings. Jello goes with a lot of ingredients, with fruit trifle being a great example.

Jello also goes nicely with fruit pieces, with custard or zabaglione or with chocolate. In fact, it is one of the most versatile dessert ingredients you can get and it is great for making Italian dessert recipes lighter. Dessert making is a creative process and you might feel like making a rich, luxurious tiramisu one day and healthier layer jello recipes the next.

The History of Cheesecake - Ancient Greece to Today

Cheese can be traced back about four thousand years, since cheese molds dating to that time have been found. It is thought that cheesecake was served to the athletes in the first Olympic Games in 776 BC.

jello shot cups

The Romans conquered Greece and found out about this delicious dish. They then brought cheesecake from Greece to other parts of Europe but it did not appear in the United States until European immigrants arrived, bringing cheesecake recipes.

JELLO

Cheesecake was known as "placenta" in Roman times and also as "libum." Early cheesecakes were made on a pastry base or in a pastry shell and sometimes offered to the gods in Roman temples.

An early Roman recipe for cheesecake calls for crushed cheese, flour and an egg. The ingredients would have been combined and cooked under a brick in a hot fire. Cheesecake preparation methods have obviously come a long way since then!

The Addition of Cream Cheese to Cheesecake

An American dairy man who was trying to copy a French cheese, Neufchatel, accidentally invented cream cheese instead in 1872. This cream cheese was distributed from 1880 onwards, in foil wrappers and was named Philadelphia.

New York's Phoenix Cheese Company bought the business in 1903 and the Philadelphia brand was bought in 1928 by the Kraft Cheese Company, who later became Kraft Foods.

Pasteurized cheese was invented in 1912 and pasteurized Philadelphia is still the most popular cheese for making cheesecakes today.

Cheesecake with Jello Recipes

Did you know that you can make cheesecake with jello? The crunchy biscuit layer and cool, creamy layer are wonderful underneath a fruity jello layer.

The following recipe for no bake raspberry cheesecake serves eight people (or four if you want a big portion each!) and is very simple to make. There is no baking involved so, as long as you can measure out the ingredients and combine them, there is nothing that can go wrong. You can replace the raspberry jello for another flavor of jello and the raspberries for another kind of fruit if you want to make a different flavor of jello cheesecake recipe.

How to Make Raspberry Jello Cheesecake

What you will need:
3 oz package raspberry jello Handful fresh or thawed raspberries 1 1/4 cups white sugar 1 cup boiling water 1/4 cup melted butter 2 teaspoons vanilla essence 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs 1 big can well chilled Carnation milk 8 oz cream cheese
How to make it:

Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar and press this mixture on to the base of a glass pie plate. Chill it in the refrigerator.

Dissolve the jello in the boiling water and stir well. Combine the cream cheese, the rest of the sugar and the vanilla in a mixer and beat until it is smooth. Whip the Carnation milk in another bowl and add the cooled jello mixture.

Add the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla mixture to the whipped milk and jello and stir well. Add the raspberries. Pour the jello mixture on top of the graham crumb crust. Chill for at least four hours, and then serve.

Groovy Grape Jello Cake

This recipe is easy because it uses a cake mix. Most food companies agree on what you need to add to the mix to prepare the batter, and those are the quantities listed in the recipe. Read the cake box, though, to be sure the amounts needed for oil, water, and eggs are the same. Things like elevation and humidity can sometimes call for a lesser amount on the cake box instructions.

What You Need:

1 box white cake mix (18 ounces) 1 cup water 3 eggs 1/3 cup oil 1 box grape jello (3 ounces) Frozen whipped topping, thawed Sliced strawberries or kiwis for decoration

How To Make It:

Prepare the cake batter in a large mixing bowl, according to instructions. Be certain to completely mix the eggs, oil, and water with the mixture. Pour batter into a glass baking dish.

Bake cake, remove from oven, and let cool thoroughly.

Poke holes in the top of the cake using a toothpick, hitting the bottom of the baking dish. The holes let the jello to travel down through the cake.

Prepare the grape jello according to the package instructions, except do not let it to set. Pour it all over the top of the cake. Do not panic when it turns purple and looks soggy. The gelatin in the mix will firm up as it is chilled and the cake will be fine.

Put the cake in the refrigerator for at least five hours. Overnight is even better. The grape jello will become more solid during that time.

To remove the cake after the jello has set, remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and place it in a larger dish of hot (not boiling) water. Be sure the water is not near the top of the dish, since you do not want to get the cake wet. Remove the baking dish after 1 minute. Dry any water off the dish. Hold the serving platter firmly against the dish and turn the dish over, placing the platter on a table or counter. The cake should slip out of the baking dish, which can now be lifted off.

Using a rubber spatula or table knife spread the thawed whipped topping over the cake. Be as creative with the texture as you want to be. Smooth, swirly, or wavy, the topping is going to look good. Arrange the strawberry or kiwi pieces on the top and sides of your Groovy Grape Jello Cake.

It's fun, it's fast, and it's exciting and a great fundraiser event. Jello wrestling has been a favorite fund raiser for college students and also to get students to join in with campus activities.

JELLO

The only downside of jello wrestling events can be the noise and many attract the attention of the local constabulary. So be warned - make sure you choose a suitable location if you want to see the full program of wrestling.

Also it is messy. Not just for the location and the wrestlers but as the jelly flies most of the spectators end up nearly as messy. So wear some old clothes.

So how do you make up the jelly? The normal type jello needs to be chilled so that the jelly sets. But there is an easier way. A product called No Chill Jello is ideal for a wrestling event, because if you use regular jello you have to refrigerate the product down to 40 degrees and after about 20 minutes of wrestling from body heat and indoor/outdoor temperature it breaks down to liquid again. No-Chill Jello sets up at temperatures as high as 85 to 90 degrees. For this reason No-Chill Jello does not break down like refrigerated jello.

No Chill Jello is made from a gum and not from an animal gelatin and will not melt during the event which makes it much better. It is also sold in bulk throughout the food service industry. Directions for mixing the jello can be found at http://www.jello-wrestling.info You can also find some suggestions for equipment needed.

Jello Wrestling is a very fun thing to watch but girls think twice before volunteering to hold an event as you get to clean up the mess. Another quick tip - girls unless you want to bare all, wear a tight fitting T shirt or top as it is sooo slippery.

Experience A Super Moist Cake With A Jello Cake Recipe

There is no doubt that we all want to create the ultimate moist and flavorful cake. There are of course a number of recipes that will claim they have the moistest cake, but each of them tends to fall short when compared to a jello cake recipe. These delicious cakes retain quite a bit of moisture and will be among the most delectable cake offerings that you will experience.

jello shot molds

While you might figure you can only make fruit flavored variations of these styles, the truth is you can turn a devil's food cake into the same moist experience that you would find in a cherry chip cake. While you might have to replace unflavored gelatin in some of these recipes, this is not too much of a problem as it can be found in most any grocery store you shop in, and the flavor will remain among the best. If you are planning to bake in bulk, you might check into the larger size boxes that come in the big box stores, just be sure you adjust them from the recipe you are making.

JELLO

Another important consideration to take when you are making a jello cake recipe is that cooking times and temperatures should continue to be adhered to just the same as they would be if you were making a standard cake. Just because they lock in moisture better, does not mean that they will not dry out. Keep your eye on the standard time suggestions that are made for them and you should not have too many problems experiencing this issue in the future.

Once your cake is baked, you will allow it to cool as you normally would and then frost with your favorite frosting. The only difference you should end up noticing is that you have added a moist texture to your cake and that people are asking you for a recipe, even if you popped open your favorite box of cake mix and dumped in a packet of jello. Just try to be creative and come up with some interesting takes on traditional favorites to see if you can improve on them and to see what the final outcome might end up being.

Simple Jello Cake

What You Will Need

1 package yellow cake mix 1 small box jello 3 eggs 1/3 cup vegetable oil 2 cups water 1 container Cool Whip

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and then create you cake according to the standard directions, but use 1 cup of water, eggs and oil as mentioned above. Bake according to their specifications, or until it has come out golden brown, then allow it to cook. When that is done, begin to add a series of tiny holes your cake. Boil the next cup of water and then mix the jello and pour it on the cake and place it in the fridge. Allow the cake to become well chilled. Add whipped topping in between layers or over the top of the cake and then serve.

How To Make Jello Jigglers

Jello Jigglers are among the fun choices you have for layer jello recipes. In this method, you create a dessert that is not only fun to eat, but also fun to create and the process is not too hard at all. In fact, it can be done in just a few hours, and then you are on your way to having something you can make with your children or something that can bring out the inner child in you.

jello shots

Start the process by making your jello inside of a large bowl. In here, use juice instead of water to help increase the flavor of your mixture. You can choose to use fruit flavored soda as well to give it a bite if you want. Stir it slowly to ensure you have the mixture mixed. Then allow it to set for a few minutes. When this is done, you will add in a few ice cubes and put it in the fridge.

JELLO

If you are going to be making one of the layer jello recipes to use for your jigglers, you will need to allow it to sit for an hour and place in another layer. If you are keeping it at a single layer, then let it sit for four hours to ensure it has molded well. You can of course wait longer on this process if you need to.

Once you mixture has set, then you can begin to cut out fun shapes with it. This method can be pretty tricky and you will want to be sure you take a sound approach to this process. It is generally a good idea for you to use cookie cutters from the freezer and then use them in this process. Cut out each of the different shapes that you want and then return them to the fridge placed on waxed paper to ensure that they do not end up sticking together. Just be sure to cover your treats as well to help prevent the flavor of the fridge from getting into them.

Something to note if you choose to go with one of the layer jello recipes to do this, is that you will need to allow the final mixture to set at least four hours before you do this process. The time cannot begin from the first layer that you put down as the layering process does not ensure that all the jello sets at the same point. If you do this process correctly, then you should have multicolored offerings that really have a great flavor and will leave everyone looking for a few more jigglers as well. You can also choose to use sugar free jello in this process if it appeals to you.

Early Summer Layer Jello Recipes

There are very few things that compare to the ease, color, flavor, and fun of jello. There are so many salad recipes to make, in addition to desserts, cookies, and cakes. When looking for a jello recipe you will never be disappointed and will be delighted to find that some recipes just call for dissolving the jello crystals in water, mixing well, letting it chill and serving with whipped topping and sprinkles. Jello salad can be served as a salad or dessert, depending on what recipe you choose and what is put into it. Some of the meals that are complemented by jello salad include turkey and pork.

jello shot syringes

Cranberries and apples are both delicious when added to layer jello recipes. They add a bit of crunch and, of course, are healthy. You can find jello recipes that include apples or cranberries, giving color and pizzazz to your side dishes for special or everyday meals. Because of the tartness in cranberries, extra sugar might be called for in a recipe. Remember that sugar substitutes can be used when needed, or perhaps the recipe will call for ingredients with a bit of extra sweetness to balance the bitter tang of the cranberry.

JELLO

Likewise, you will welcome the many recipes that create mouthwatering appeal, such as applesauce and pork, and yummy apple cakes and pies. Of course, always remember that apples vary in texture, cooking results, and flavor, so follow the recipe for the type to get the desired results.

When you make layer jello recipes, a spoonful of whipped cream on top can make it an appetizing light dessert or a delicious special salad. Some people use cranberry jello with a turkey dinner instead of setting out cranberry sauce. There is something about turkey that is enhanced by the flavor of cranberry and both the sauce and jello provide the right touch.

When you find a jello recipe you enjoy, print it out, and place a star or other distinguishing feature on it so you know that it is a favorite to make again and often. Include fruits like raisins, grapes, and bananas for extra color and taste. Cheese has protein and if you are having trouble getting your family to eat enough protein, add shredded or cubed cheese for color, taste, and health. The cheese can be added to the jello before it sets, or sprinkled on top as a garnish

Desserts - How to Make a Jello Cream Cake

This is a recipe my sister-in-law used to make for every family get together. Since everyone loved it, she just always brought it. With everyone's kids grown and schedules so different, we haven't seen this cake in many years.

jello jiggler molds

When I recently dug the recipe out of my recipe box, my daughter looked at it and said, "Mom I don't remember it, but a cake and jello all in one?" The answer is yes, this is jello on top of a crust. It comes out wonderfully. My daughter wanted it made immediately.

JELLO

Here is a list of the ingredients used in the recipe:

½ cup butter (you can also use a lower calorie margarine for this recipe)
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 small package lemon jello
1 large package lime jello
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
2 cups whipping cream, whipped
¾ cup white sugar

You start by making the crust. Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Mix in the flour and walnuts. Mix until well mixed. This will form your crust. Press the crust into a 9x13 casserole dish. Bake at 375 degrees 8- 10 minutes. Do not overcook.

You now create your first jello layer. Dissolve the lemon jello in one cup of boiling water. Dissolve completely and then allow to cool. Mix together the cream cheese and white sugar. Then add the whipped cream. Mix well. Add the lemon jello to the mixture and stir. Pour over the cooled crust and refrigerate. You need this first layer to set.

Once set, create your second layer. Dissolve the lime jello in three cups of boiling water. Allow to cool and then pour over the lemon jello layer. Return to the refrigerator until completely set. You can now cut it into squares and serve. We like to top it with a small scoop of whipped cream.

Once you learn how to make this recipe, you can create different color combinations for holidays. For example, during Valentines Day you might consider either two red layers or making the first layer with non-colored jello and your second layer with red. For Christmas, you can make one layer red and one green. For Independence Day, try one blue layer and one red layer. Your crust is light brown, so your cake looks patriotic.

As you choose colors, consider taste combinations. For example strawberry and raspberry jello are close in color but very different tastes. Also, we use sugar free jello when making this recipe as there is plenty of other sugar in the cake.

Try the cake and see if you like it as is. If you don't like the walnuts, try using other types of nuts.

Entertaining With Jello - Classic Jello Recipes From the 1960s

Jello has come a long way since the middle of the twentieth century. Perhaps you remember the kind of desserts made with jello from the 1960s or maybe your mother or grandmother still likes to make these for the holidays!

Savory Jello Salads

JELLO

One of the most popular dishes made with jello from that time was jello salad recipes and these were often savory. The idea of combining lime jello with tuna fish or pineapple gelatin with vegetables might sound strange now but these dishes were served at dinner parties and they were very popular. The main problem that people have with these savory gelatin salad recipes is the texture, rather than the flavor.

Plain gelatin was also used to make savory jello salad recipes but the idea of chopped meat, fish, and vegetables suspended in a clear gelatinous mass is perhaps not the most appetizing thought. Some people do not like the texture of gelatin with savory food, although they might love sweet jello recipes like fruity jello pie or a layered jello recipe.

Vintage Sweet Jello Recipes

Jello in the 1960s was usually just combined with water or water and chopped fruit to make a simple dessert. There were fewer flavors of jello in the 1960s but sweet jello recipes of that era were fairly basic. Layered jello was an option, fruit chunks in jello was another and these basic jello desserts would have been served with some whipped cream or ice cream.

Today of course, there is much more that we can do with jello, both with jello gelatin and the other varieties, which have been, launched like jello pudding and jello no bake cheesecake mix.

Recipe for 1960s Tuna and Lime Jello Salad

The idea of combining lime jello with fish might sound bizarre but if you have cooked a savory fish recipe with lime juice, you will already know that the flavors go together.

How to make it:

Dissolve the jello in the hot water, and then stir in the salt and vinegar. Chill this mixture until it is thick, and then fold in the onion, tuna, celery, mayonnaise, cottage cheese, and radishes. Pour the mixture into an eight inch ring mold and chill it until set. Unmold on to the lettuce and serve.

Appetizers and desserts can be as filling and substantial or as small as you want. Think about dessert recipes, for example. If you are hungry you might want a big slab of chocolate cake with whipped cream or a generous slice of warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream. If you prefer something lighter, that is where jello recipes really hold their own.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add the water and the butter or margarine into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat. Warm a large mixing bowl and after boiling the water and butter or margarine, pour this hot mixture into the large mixing bowl. Gradually add the flour and stir until the mixture forms a ball. Add the eggs one at a time and beat thoroughly. Mix until the dough becomes very stiff.

Drop this mixture by the teaspoon full onto a baking pan or cookie sheet while forming circles on the pan or laying the dough out in strips on the pan to bake. Place in the preheated oven to bake for about 20 minutes or until done. After baking turn off the oven but do not open the door.

How to Make Coffee Jello

Looking for an after dinner dessert for when you have friends over? Do they love coffee?

jello shots

Try coffee jello. It's quick and very simple to make. It only takes about fifteen minutes to put together and most of that time is waiting for it to thicken. It also doesn't require heating oven up, so it's perfect for the summer, but you can enjoy it year round.

JELLO

What you'll need:

Two 1/4 ounces of plain gelatin. It's in the grocery aisle with the jello, probably in a plain looking box.

A 1/2 cup of cold coffee. I used a flavored coffee, but really you can use any coffee that you like.

3 cups of hot coffee.

A 1/2 cup of sugar. More or less depending on how sweet you like it.

1 pinch of salt

How to make it:

In a large bowl or I used a small, narrow roasting pan, mix the gelatin and iced coffee.

Let it set for ten minutes for it to thicken.

Add the hot coffee, sugar and salt. Stir it until sugar is completely dissolved.

You can pour it into individual serving dishes or keep it in the roasting pan. Put it in the refrigerator until it sets. I noticed that it took sightly longer than normal jello to set. In my refrigerator, it took about three hours, so if you can make before you start cooking your dinner and by the time you're done eating dinner, it'll be ready!

And that's it. When you serve it, you add whipped cream. I also recommend trying it with chocolate or caramel syrup. Also, you can try adding bananas, strawberries, raspberries or anything else you'd like.

Elegant Jello Recipes - Using Wine and Champagne For Decadent Desserts

Jello is usually made by combining gelatin powder with water, but you can also use other liquids to make these recipes. Fruit juice, soda, and ginger ale are all possibilities but some sophisticated recipes call for wine or champagne. These will give a nice flavor to the dish and alcohol-based gelatin desserts are nice if you are having a dinner party in the spring or summer.

jello jiggler molds

Alcohol is used in a lot of dessert recipes, such as rum babas, sherry trifle and fruit flambees. Many extracts, such as vanilla extract, are alcohol-based and these give lots of flavor to dessert recipes. When using jello to make desserts, you usually have to use a liquid to dissolve the powder, unless you are making something like a gelatin salad recipe and only adding the powder to give color and flavor to the dish.

JELLO

Which Type of Wine to Use

If a recipe calls for champagne, you can use any sparkling white, since the flavor will be very similar and the sweetness of the jello means you do not have to use an expensive champagne unless you happen to have one open and the recipe only calls for a small amount of it.

For recipes with red wine, the recipe should tell you whether to use something dry or something light and fruity. If not, feel free to use any kind, since it is just to give some flavor to the dessert and also add some color.

If you are making a savory dish like beef with red wine, for example, it is a good idea to use a good one, since the flavor will be apparent in the finished dish. For dessert recipes, you have more leeway when it comes to the alcohol.

Recipe for Port Flavored Gelatin

What you will need:

2 cups boiling water 6 oz package raspberry gelatin 1/3 cup port 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 15 oz cranberry sauce (whole berry is best) 20 oz can crushed pineapple, drained

How to make it:

Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water and let the mixture cool. Pour it into a serving bowl and add all the other ingredients. Chill the mixture until it has set. This recipe makes enough to serve twelve people.

Recipe for Jello with White Wine

What you will need:

1/2 cup sweet white wine 6 oz package cherry gelatin 1 can black cherries, drained 1 package Cool Whip

How to make it:

Soak the cherries in the wine for about an hour. Make the jello as directed on the package, but by substituting wine for some of the cold water. Stir the gelatin. Add the cherries to the jello when it is partially set. Adding them too early will cause them to sink. Keep one cup of jello separately in a bowl, then mix the Cool Whip into it. Whip well, and then use this mixture to top the set jello.

How to Use Jello to Flavor Your Dessert Recipes

Jello is traditionally combined with water or another liquid such as 7Up, cola or fruit juice and left to set in the refrigerator. However, sometimes jello powder is used in other ways.

jello pudding pops

You might want to try mixing the jello powder with the amount of hot water called for on the back of the packet but omitting the cold water. This is how you make finger jello, so named because it is solid enough to pick up and eat with the fingers.

JELLO

Using Dry Jello Powder in Recipes

Another way to use jello is to flavor your dessert recipes by adding the jello to a recipe. You can use the same jello flavor as your dessert or a contrasting flavor.

If you are making a strawberry cake, for example, you might like to add some lime jello powder to the cake for a tangy taste or you can add strawberry jello to intensify the strawberry flavor.

Using Dry Jello in Savory Dishes

There are some savory dishes, which call for jello powder. For example, you can make a delicious Chinese lemon chicken with lemon jello. Lemon jello granules are sweet but so is Chinese lemon chicken so it works wonderfully.

Rhubarb Cobbler with Strawberry Jello

The following recipe combines strawberry jello powder with fresh rhubarb and other tasty ingredients for a really great tasting dessert. Rhubarb is both sweet and tart at the same time and is ideal for people who do not like over sweet desserts.

This recipe serves two people if you serve it alone or four if you serve it with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.

The rhubarb is flavored with the strawberry jello powder and it sits in a homemade pastry base and is topped with a sweet topping, which dissolves in the oven, soaking up the flavors from the rhubarb and the strawberry jello.

Strawberry and Rhubarb Cobbler Recipe

What you will need:
1 1/2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 stick plus 2 tablespoons butter 1 beaten egg 3 cups chopped rhubarb 2 tablespoons milk 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup sugar 3 oz package strawberry jello
How to make it:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cut 2 tablespoons of butter into 1 cup of the flour until you have a mixture like fine breadcrumbs. Add the milk, eggs, salt, and baking powder and make a soft dough.

Press it into an 8 x 8 inch pan, pressing the dough up the pan sides. Put the rhubarb in the bottom and sprinkle the jello powder over the top.

Combine the rest of the flour with the rest of the butter and the sugar to make the topping. Sprinkle this over the jello powder and bake for about 30 minutes or until the rhubarb is soft.

No matter what recipe you choose, the results will be spectacular, with appeal guaranteed even when using the easiest, basic jello recipes.

jello

Many of us have enjoyed fruit and jello combination's, one of the classic jello dessert recipes. Flavor can be added by using fruit juice as part of the liquid when mixing the jello. When it is hard to decide what kind of fruit you want to put in the jello, use a can of mixed fruits, draining the liquid from the can first. The jello needs to set for about half an hour before adding any fruit to keep the fruit from dropping right to the bottom. If your family wants to think that magic is what suspends the fruit throughout the jello, you can tell them the hint of partial setting if you want. Sometimes mystique is more fun than knowing the truth.

JELLO

Simply Cheesecake And Pudding

There are many classic desserts that enjoy an upgrade with jello. Cheesecakes are fabulous when topped with fruit and jello for extra taste and color because the crunchy crust on the bottom, creamy smooth layer in the center and jello and fruit topping contrast in texture and taste. The holding power of jello also keeps the fruit steady on top, instead of allowing it to roll away. If you have looked at plain cheesecake and wondered what else was needed to make it more enticing, browse through some jello recipes to see how you can change it with the pizazz of jello.

Sometimes a homemade meal, such as pot roast, is perfectly suited for dessert. If potatoes, gravy, and biscuits or rolls have been served with the main course, the last thing that is needed is a heavy dessert, such as cake or pie. Jello is the perfect answer, with a special twist.

jello pudding pops

Jell-O has been a staple of family dessert menus for years. Before Jell-O, there was gelatin, which required sugar and flavoring added before it tasted like a dessert. When the mixture was perfected and packaged, basic flavors such as cherry were offered. Becoming more adventurous, other fruits, and fruit blends became popular. Stores now carry seasonal specials, such as Strawberry Daiquiri, that can be made with or without a bit of liquor.

JELLO

Those involved with a scout troop or youth club have most likely encountered finger jello. It jiggles just like the normal jello dessert, except it has more body and can actually be held while eaten. It can be cut into many strips or cubes. It is a very kid-friendly product. Children can make the thicker jello mixture and pour it into a small cookie sheet or baking pan to finish firming. When it is ready to cut, they can use their favorite cookie cutters instead of making strips. Spray the cutters with non-stick spray first to prevent sticking.

It is simple to prepare finger jello for those who must limit their sugar intake. Use one of the many flavors of sugar-free jello. For a special treat, buy a small bag of sugar free peppermint patties and melt two in the microwave (about 15 to 20 seconds). Stir the mint and chocolate with a fork, and drape the mixture across the sugar-free finger jello cutouts. I always cut out the ingredient display of the package and tape it to an index card. The card is set in front of the dessert tray.

Recipe For Coffee Jello

What You Need

1 box of Lemon Jello 1 cup cold water 1 cup hot coffee, any flavor 1 can whipping cream Chocolate sprinkles

How To Make It

Pour the contents of the Lemon Jello packet into a medium sized plastic or glass bowl. Slowly add the hot coffee, stirring with a spoon until the jello is dissolved. Add the cold water, slowly stirring to blend the coffee/lemon jello mixture. Pour into six individual dessert cups, or to make it a special dessert, pour into six stemware glasses. Refrigerate for at least four hours.

Just before serving the dessert, shake the can of whipping cream and put it on top of the coffee jello in each dessert cup. It can be in a swirl or layer. Shake some of the chocolate sprinkles on the whipping cream.

This dessert can also be made by using one of the sugar-free Jello gelatin products. Instead of whipping cream from the can, thaw and use a bowl of the frozen light whipped dessert toppings. Use just a few chocolate sprinkles, if desired, for each serving, or put a sugar-free chocolate piece on top.

Cherry Chocolate Jello Cake Recipe

There are a number of different choices that you will have for a jello cake recipe, but you will find that among them, one of the best will be the cherry chocolate choice. This simple recipe will take very little effort on your part to make, but people will be very impressed with how moist and flavorful it turns out. Just be sure you keep a few important pieces of information in mind to ensure everything turns out perfectly.

jello pudding pops

To begin with, you never want to pour your hot liquid on a hot cake. This will result in your creation turning into mush, rather than getting the jello cake recipe to form correctly. Whenever possible, you should allow the cake to cool to the point of being room temperature, and then add in your warmed mixture to the cake. This will help to ensure that you are only absorbing the liquid rather than creating a mess instead.

JELLO

As you make the jello cake recipe, you will also have the option of baking from scratch, or using a boxed mix. Whichever style you prefer will be fine, what you will often find is that if you bake from a box, you can switch things up to get a better flavor as well. Think about throwing in some cherry flavor and cherry chunks into the mix and create a dessert that leaves your entire family with a smile on their faces.

Of course, the flavor combinations that you create can be changed up as you desire. You can make a white cake with lemon jello or any other series of flavors. The important thing will be to meet the delicious flavors of your family. That way you have nothing but a series of satisfied smiles that are sitting around your dinner table.

Remember that this is going to make your cake appear moister and fuller as well. You may want to avoid cutting slices that are too big as well, until you can gauge how your family enjoys the flavor and what their appetites are after having a small slice of your jello cake recipe.

Cherry Cordial Jello Cake

What You Will Need

1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix 1 Box Cherry Jello 1 Tub Cool Whip

How to Make It

Begin by making the cake as you normally would. If you want to create a healthier alternative, you can replace the oil with apple sauce for baking. When done, remove your cake from the oven and cool completely. Boil a cup of water and mix it with the jello, then before pouring it over the cake, add cool water to the mix. Pour it over the cake then and allow it to chill in the fridge. Cover your cake with Cool Whip and serve chilled.
