Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 box (3 oz) flavored gelatin (any flavor)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 cup ice cubes
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish (optional)
- Fruit or sprinkles
Instructions
- Dissolve Gelatin: In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved to ensure a smooth mixture.
- Thicken Gelatin: Add the cold water and ice cubes to the gelatin mixture, stirring gently. Allow it to sit for about 5–7 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken slightly. Remove any remaining ice cubes.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream along with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy texture.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the slightly thickened gelatin mixture until it is fully combined and smooth, taking care not to deflate the cream.
- Chill: Pour the combined mixture into a serving dish or individual cups, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the dessert is set firmly.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, top with additional whipped cream, fruit, or sprinkles as desired for added flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use sugar-free gelatin to reduce sugar content for a lighter dessert.
- For a colorful presentation, layer different gelatin flavors by allowing each layer to set completely before adding the next.
