Jell O Easter Bunny Recipes

EASTER JELLO-O PIE

Steps:

• Melt your butter in the microwave until it's fully liquified.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until a thick, sand texture occurs.
• Place the mixture in your springform pan and spread it across the bottom and up the sides, pressing it down so it packs in.
• Place the crust in the freezer until you're ready to add layers.
• Place each color of Jell-O powder in its own small bowl. Place ¾ cup boiling water in each bowl and stir until no graininess remains on the bottom of the bowl.
• Place ⅓ cup cold water in each bowl and stir once more.
• Place the bowls of Jell-O in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes. You don't want it to be solidified, just thickened.
• Add 4 ounces of whipped cream to each Jell-O bowl and vigorously mix until fully combined. This may take a minute or two, per bowl.
• If you're using food dye to add more color to the yellow and pink, add that at this point and turn until no color streaks appear and you've reached your desired shades of color.
• Place the first color (I used yellow, but you can do your own color order) in the crust and spread even. Place the pie back in the freezer for 5 minutes, then add the next color, then back in the freezer for 5 minutes. Repeat this process until all 4 colors have been added.
• Leave the pie in the freezer for 3-4 hours or until completely solidified all the way through.
• Top with whipped cream, if desired, and enjoy!

MOM'S EASTER BUNNY CAKE W/JELLO EGGS

Steps:

• 1. Grease bottom and sides of one nine inch round cake pan. Coat with flour.
• 2. Prepare the cake according to box directions. Pour cake into the ONE nine inch pan. To make two smaller cakes you can divide batter between two eight inch pans. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
• 3. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely before frosting and decorating.
• 4. Frosting In a bowl, combine all frosting ingredients (butter must be soft). Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and spreading consistency.
• 5. Cake assembly: Cut cake in half.
• 6. Frost the bottom sides and form the body of the bunny. Cut an area for the ears. Use a portion for the tail.
• 7. Frost the entire cake then sprinkle with 1/2 pound of coconut. Add ears, eyes, and whiskers. My mom used licorice for the whiskers and jelly beans for eyes and nose.
• 8. Mix the leftover half pound of coconut with green food coloring to make the grass. The jello eggs were made according to jello package directions and molded in plastic easter eggs.
