Ice Cream Jello

ice-cream-jello-done

I remember eating this as a kid, the fun part is the magical Jello separation. I thought this would be the perfect recipe to go with my baby shower party colors.

While the Broken Glass Jell-o and Layered Jello are gorgeous, this is pretty too in it’s own way, and oh so tasty.

ingredients:
2 large packages (6 oz each) Jell-o (any flavor)
1 packet of unflavored Knox gelatin
4 cups boiling water
half of a container of vanilla ice cream about 3/4 quart

In a large bowl combine the Jell-o, unflavored gelatin and the boiling water. Whisk until dissolved.

Now you want to quickly add the ice cream until it is melted and combined. I’ve found that exactly half of a container works well. Now, they’ve changed the size of these things, believe it or not, so one container of ice cream is now actually 1.5 quarts, it is no longer a half gallon!

Once mixed well, pour into a 9″ x 13″ pan. Refrigerate overnight, cut into squares and serve. If you are doing this for a party, I suggest putting the cut pieces into cupcake liners.

The ice cream will magically float to the top of the jello and you will have a creamy+jello concoction that looks like it took a lot of prep work. GREAT for parties!!

Layered Jello

This is an old, typical Hawaii potluck recipe for Layered Jello. Always gorgeous for parties!

Ingredients:
4 packages JELLO (3 oz each) -
orange, lime, blue rasberry, strawberry
6 envelopes KNOX unflavored gelatin
1 cup sweetened condensed milk

Mix 1 cup condensed milk with 1 cup hot water. Set aside. Mix 2 envelopes Knox gelatin with 1 cup hot water; combine with milk mixture and set aside

Combine Orange JELLO, 1 envelope Knox gelatin and 1-1/2 cups hot water. Cool, then pour into a 9×13 pyrex. Place in refrigerator to set for about 30 minutes.

*Note – the Hawaii version says to grease pan with mayonnaise – the thought of that makes me want to vomit. I hate mayonaisse. We just poured it in as is and it didn’t stick, thank god, cause everyone knows – mayonaisse=barf. HA!

layerjello2

Pour about 1 cup of the milk mixture for the next later. Refrigerate to set. Now each layer will only take 15 minutes to set – yay – much faster!

layerjello3

Combine lime JELLO, 1 envelope Knox gelatin and 1-1/2 cup hot water. Cook, and pour carefully over the milk mixture, then place in the refridgerator for another 15 minutes.

Repeat the milk mixture….

Now the blue raspberry…

Then the milk mixture…(I know this is boring but the payoff is worth it…)

layerjello6

Finally end with the strawberry! And set til you’re ready to serve…

The final product looks like this, and when you cut it…GORGEOUS!!

Jello Aquariums

ingredients:
4 oz or 6 oz clear plastic party cups
2 large boxes blue jello
12 gummi fish
whipped cream

Jello Aquariums

Make Jello according to package. Fill the plastic cups. Chill in the fridge for about an hour, just as long as it’s not set. Put the gummi fish in each cup. They should look ’suspended’ in the water. Return the cups to the fridge. When you are ready to serve, add some whipped cream ‘waves’ on top!

**Note: Sometimes the top layer of the jello gets a little…hard. Kinda ew. I suggest scraping it off for a nice clean look and taste, but hey, that’s just me.
