Jell O Strawberry Parfaits Recipes

JELLO PARFAIT (STRAWBERRY)

Steps:

• Prepare a regular sized muffin tin: use 9 small balls, or wad up balls of foil (or paper) and place in the muffin tin. Place 9 clear plastic cups on top of the balls at an angle (see video at top of this page!) The small balls help to keep the cup at an angle.
• Next prepare the strawberry jell-o (both packets) according to package directions (not for quick set, but for regular set). Fill up the cups evenly with the strawberry jell-o (be careful as you pour and ensure the cups stay at an angle).
• Hull and slice the strawberries and then place a few slices of strawberries into each jell-o cup. Carefully transfer the muffin tin into the fridge and allow the strawberry jell-o to completely set up.
• When the jell-o layer is nearly set up, you can begin on the mousse.
• Place 1 and 1/2 cups Sprite in a microwave safe bowl or cup and microwave just until the mixture comes to a boil. Whisk the packet of strawberry jell-o into the Sprite.
• Transfer the mixture to a high powdered blender and add in the cream cheese. Blend until completely smooth. And in remaining 1 cup of (COLD) Sprite and blend again until smooth.
• Add in the completely thawed Cool Whip and blend just until smooth. (You can leave out about 1/2 cup for optional garnish at the end if desired).
• Pour this mixture evenly over the jell-o layers (you shouldn't use as much of this mousse as you did of the jell-o or it tends to be overpowering).
• Place in the fridge and allow to set completely.
• If desired, garnish with fresh whipped cream (or 1/2 cup extra cool whip) and garnish with fresh mint and a small strawberry.

JELL-O PARFAITS

Steps:

• Stir 1 cup of the boiling water into each flavor gelatin in separate bowls at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir 1 cup of the cold water into each bowl. Pour into separate 9-inch square pans.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Cut gelatin in each pan into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Layer alternating gelatin flavors and whipped topping in 8 dessert glasses.

JELL-O STRAWBERRY PARFAITS

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add ice; stir until gelatin is slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice.
• Lean 4 parfait glasses, at an angle, against sides of muffin pan cups. Reserve 4 strawberries for garnish. Slice remaining berries; stir into gelatin. Spoon into tilted glasses. Refrigerate 2 hours or until gelatin is firm.
• Top with COOL WHIP and reserved berries before serving.

JELL-O STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE PARFAITS RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Whisk gelatin together with 1 cup boiling water until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes; whisk in 3/4 ice cold water. Chill just until slightly thickened. (Don't let it congeal.) Set aside 1/3 cup of the thickened gelatin. Add strawberries to the remaining gelatin; spoon into 3 to 5 parfait glasses (depending on size). Chill glasses at an angle until Jell-O is set. (I tilted the glasses in loaf pans). Meanwhile, whisk together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth; whisk in the reserved 1/3 cup gelatin, then gently fold in 1 cup Cool Whip. (Refrigerate if gelatin in glasses is not quite set). Spoon cheesecake mixture into the glasses of set Jell-O. Chill glasses upright until completely set. To serve, garnish top of parfaits with a dollop of Cool Whip and sliced strawberries.

EASY MINI JELL-O PARFAIT RECIPE

Steps:

• Set aside 6 mini glass jars -- cleaned out baby food jars work great!
• Boil 1 cup of the water.
• In a medium, heat-proof bowl, pour in the boiling water. Add the package of Jell-O and whisk until completely dissolved.
• Next, add the remaining cup of cold water and stir.
• Pour some -- not all -- of the Jell-O mixture evenly among all 6 jars, filling the jar halfway, about 3 tbsp per jar.
• Set the remaining Jell-O aside at room temperature and place the jars in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours until just set.
• When 2 hours is up, add nearly all of the Cool Whip to the Jell-O that wasn't chilled, leaving about 6 tbsp of Cool Whip aside for topping the jars.
• Pour the Jell-O mousse into the jars on top of the set Jell-O, leaving just a bit of room on the top for the remaining whipped topping to be added later.
• Place the jars back in the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, add the remaining Cool Whip to the tops of the jars by dolloping on with a spoon or using a piping bag.
• Garnish with fresh fruit if desired and serve.
