A wonderful treat for dessert or an appetizer for dinner. I first had this at my mother-in-laws and loved it so much, I now make it for holidays! Very light and tasty!
A good old standby and another way to get kids to eat some vegetables. Besides, it always looks good on the table especially when the center is filled with green seedless grapes.
We always make this for Thanksgiving and Christmas...it is a must have holiday menu item. You can substitute a container of Cool Whip for the freshly whipped cream. You could try other Jell-o flavors,...
This is a wonderful,smooth and creamy filling for your cream puffs, donuts, or filling for your cakes. You can add more coffee granules if you like or even less, it's still great! FYI-heavy cream has 36-40%...
From "Cooking with Carnation Evaporated Milk" cookbook. I have not tried this yet, but it sounds good, and the picture looked delicious! Cooking time = chill time.
I made these fun little guys for my 14 mo. old nephew and they were perfect! Being so young, it was better for him to eat a "Jello orange" than a real one. These were a hit with the whole family--not just...
This is a visually stunning dessert. It is a light and refreshing alternative to ice cream for a summer dinner party. The terrine can be made up to 3 days in advance of service. Unmold just before serving....
My mom gave me this recipe and it comes from a PTA cookbook which is at least 45 years old. Our family is now twice removed from those origins in Western Pennsylvania - first to NJ and now to Maine. Sometimes...
I first had this when I taught in Hawaii. One of the other teachers brought it for an end of the year party and I had to beg her for the recipe! It was worth begging.
This is very fancy-looking served in wine glasses. Champagne-based gelatin dessert with strawberries and blueberries. Posted for ZWT 2006. Time does not include allowing the gelatin to refrigerate until...
This is beautiful when cut, all the layers and colors of the jello. It helps at it taste good, too. Very refreshing. For the 4th of July I have done red, white and blue, then cut it with star shaped cookie...
I love Panna Cotta, the traditional Italian eggless custard. It makes a wonderfully light finish to a heavy meal. Occasionally, I depart from the traditional recipe and add a bit of sour cream for a whole...
This is a recipe that I adopted. I have been making this salad for years, but we always called it "Sorority Salad" for reasons unknown to anyone! I add 1/2 to 3/4 cups chopped pecans or walnuts. This is...
A lady at the libray was browsing the diet-related cookbooks while I was doing the same. She related this recipe to me and swore it was good. ( One of the advantages of age - I'll talk to anyone ;-) )
Here is a wonderful dessert, IF you love strawberries, you will love this dessert. *Please be sure to Bake the cream cheese layer first before you add the strawberry layer*.
In Japan agar and the desserts made from it are called Kanten. Vary the amount of agar depending if you like a soft or a firm gel. Note if acidic fruit you may need more agar.
This is even better than the real Jello! using juice in place of water will intensify the flavor even more, for orange jello use orange juice etc --- for sugar-free use a sugar substitute in place of sugar...
The jello milkshake is so easy to make, the ingredients are so simple - milk, ice cream, and your favorite flavor of jello. The fun part is selecting what color and flavor of gelatin to use for your jello...
I make this Jello often in the spring/summer. It looks really nice in a mold and sets up great. The fresh berries in the center of the mold makes a beautiful presentation.
A very light, delicious dessert. For an added chocolate touch, dip one end of ladyfingers in melted chocolate. I found this recipe in Company's Coming "Chocolate Everything" cookbook. I have made this...
This is an old recipe of my mothers, though I am not sure where it originated. I am not a fan of lime or even marshmallows really, but this stuff is dee-lish! I always serve it with Thanksgiving, Christmas...
I was lucky enough to enjoy a Cooking Light dinner and demonstration where this was the final course. It was soo silky and delicious, and you really couldn't tell that this Italian favorite had been lightened...
