Christmas Cherry Cream Cheese Jello Mold Recipes

CHERRY-LEMON CREAM JELL-O MOLD

Steps:

• Pour lemon mix into a medium bowl and add 2 cups boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then let cool until warm but not steaming hot, about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in sour cream until smooth.
• Spray a 10- or 12-cup mold or Bundt pan, preferably nonstick, very lightly with neutral cooking spray. Blot any extra oil with paper towels. Pour in lemon-sour cream mixture and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
• About 15 minutes before lemon-sour cream mixture has set, pour cherry mix into a large bowl and add 2 cups boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then stir in cherry or cranberry juice. Make sure mixture has cooled to lukewarm at most before proceeding.
• When lemon-sour cream mixture is set, gently ladle the cherry mixture over it. Don't pour it on top, as the mixture breaks easily. Refrigerate again until completely set, at least 3 hours or overnight. (If you want to create multiple thinner layers of Jell-O, as seen in the picture here, instead of just one layer of each flavor, see Note.)
• When ready to unmold, run the tip of a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to break the seal. Dip the bottom half of the mold in warm (not hot) water for 15 seconds. Place a serving plate over the top and flip to unmold. (If the mold doesn't come out immediately, don't shake it; try the warm water treatment again, 15 seconds at a time, until it comes out. If you leave the mold in the water for a longer time, it may start to melt.)
• Just before serving, garnish, then slice, using a sharp knife and wiping the blade between slices.

CRANBERRY-CREAM CHEESE MOLD

Steps:

• Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in medium bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water and cinnamon. Remove 1 cup of the gelatin; set aside at room temperature. Refrigerate remaining gelatin 1-1/2 hours or until thickened (spoon drawn through leaves definite impression).
• Add apples and cranberry sauce to thickened gelatin; stir gently. Spoon into 6-cup mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 30 min. or until gelatin is set but not firm. (Gelatin should stick to finger when touched and should mound.) Place cream cheese in another medium bowl. Gradually add reserved 1 cup gelatin, beating with wire whisk until well blended. Pour over gelatin layer in mold.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold onto serving plate. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

JELL-O MOLD

Steps:

• Place Jell-O in a large bowl. Add 1 cup reserved cherry juice and boiling water. Whisk thoroughly until Jell-O is dissolved. Transfer to refrigerator and chill until beginning to set, about 15 minutes.
• Remove from refrigerator, and add either sour cream or whipped cream cheese. Beat with a hand-held electric mixer until smooth. Add cherries; stir to combine. Pour mixture into a 3-quart mold. Refrigerate until firm.
• Quickly dip mold into a bowl of warm water. Wipe mold dry. Place a serving plate on top of mold and invert. Repeat dipping process if necessary to release Jell-O. Serve immediately or chill until serving.
