Layered Christmas Jello Cups Recipes

CHRISTMAS LAYERED JELLO

Steps:

• Spray silicone molds or a 9 x 13 inch pan with nonstick spray. Place molds on a cookie sheet.
• Microwave 2 cups of water until boiling.
• Place red jello in a mixing bowl, then pour boiling water over jello and stir to dissolve. (Or you can start with green...start with whatever color you want on top.)
• Pour a thin layer over the bottom of the mold or pan. Place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until jello is set.
• Boil another 1 ½ cups water. Place both envelopes of unflavored gelatin in a bowl, pour ½ cup cold water over the gelatin and stir until dissolved. Add the condensed milk and stir to combine. Add the 1 ½ cups boiling water over the milk and mix. Pour a thin layer over the red layer and return to the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes.
• Microwave another 2 cups of water till boiling.
• Place green jello in a mixing bowl, then pour boiling water over the jello and stir to dissolve.
• Pour a thin layer of green over the white layer, then return to the refrigerator till set for about 15 minutes.
• Pour another layer of white over the green and return to the refrigerator for another 15 minutes.
• Continue till you have all layers: Red, white, green, white, red, white, green, white, red.
• If jello starts to gel in the bowl, heat for 10 to 15 seconds and stir well.
• If you are using small silicone layers, you may want to just do three layers, red, white and green.
• Refrigerate for an additional 2 hours so it will be totally set up. Unmold, or cut into small squares.
• Serve with whipped cream.

LAYERED CHRISTMAS JELLO CUPS

Steps:

• For each layer, boil 1 cup water (I do this in the microwave) and then add the contents of one flavor of jello. Stir with a fork until the jello is totally dissolved and then divide the mixture in half, saving half in a separate bowl.
• Add 1/2 cup yogurt to half of the jello mixture and stir until well combined. Pour the yogurt/Jello mixture into your dishes* and then place in the refrigerator in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes or until completely set.
• Add 3 Tbsp water to the other half of the jello that you reserved. Set aside. As soon as the yogurt layer is set, you can pour the reserved layer on top. Refrigerate again until set.
• Repeat steps 1-3 with the other flavor of jello and then repeat the steps two more times. If you use a deeper dish, you can repeat the layers as many times as you want - you'll just need more jello!
• I like to put a little bit of whipped cream on top just before serving! Totally optional!

LAYERED CHRISTMAS JELLO CUPS (SUGAR-FREE & KETO-FRIENDLY OPTIONS)

Steps:

• 1Prepare strawberry Jello as directed on box. Use ice water where it calls for cold water (this will help it set up faster).
• Pour it into the cups of your choice, remember to only fill ⅓ of the way. Let set in the fridge until firm.
• Place cold water in a small bowl and sprinkle with gelatine while whisking with a fork. Set aside for 5 minutes or until spongy. Stand the bowl in a heatproof bowl of hot water and stir until the gelatine dissolves. Never boil gelatine, as it can become stringy.
• Prepare the middle layer by boiling the heavy cream with 2 tbsp of sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract on a pan. While still hot add the unflavored gelatine and mix.
• Pour on top of the strawberry layer and return to the fridge until firmly set.
• For the final layer, prepare the lime jello according to package directions, and use ice water where it calls for cold water again, you do not want to put hot or warm jello on top of the middle layer it will melt it and give your jello a milky color.
• Return jello to the fridge and let it set until firm and you are ready to serve.
• Top each portion with whipped topping and garnish with Christmas decorations. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
