Jello Pinwheels Recipes

HOW TO MAKE JELLO ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• In a microwave safe bowl, mix together the Jello mix and the hot water.
• Stir until dissolved. If it's not dissolving, microwave the mixture for 30 seconds and keep stirring. Repeat until you get it all dissolved.
• Add the marshmallows and microwave for another 30 seconds.
• Mix together until the marshmallows are completely melted.
• Pour mixture into a greased 8" x 8" pan and refrigerate for at least an hour.
• Use a knife to cut around the edges of the pan to release the Jello.
• Roll the Jello as tightly as you can.
• Cut into 1" wide pieces using a sharp, thin knife.

EASY MARSHMALLOW PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Stir gelatin mix and water in medium microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1-1/2 min.; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.
• Stir in marshmallows. Microwave on HIGH 1 min. or until marshmallows are partially melted. Stir with whisk until marshmallows are completely melted. Pour into 8-inch square pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• Refrigerate 45 min. or until set. Run sharp knife around edges of pan to loosen gelatin layer from pan. Starting at 1 edge, roll up gelatin layer tightly. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

JELLO PINWHEELS

Steps:

• 1. Lightly spray an 8 or 9 inch square pan with cooking spray. If you do not have cooking spray you can also line the pan with plastic wrap so that it comes up the sides.
• 2. Mix the gelatin and water in a medium sized bowl until gelatin is dissolved.
• 3. Add the marshmallows until they are dissolved into the jello. If the marshmallows do not melt, place in the microwave for 10 second intervals until melted.
• 4. Gently pour the jello/marshmallow mixture into the pan.
• 5. Chill for 1 hour (The marshmallow and jello will separate forming two distinctive layers).
• 6. Remove the chilled jello from the refrigerator and remove from the pan or peel away from the plastic wrap. TIPS FOR REMOVING THE JELLO: You may want to dip a butter knife in hot water and run in around the sides of the pan to loosen it. Also after loosening up the sides you can also roll the jello into a roll in the pan if you are having trouble getting it out.
• 7. With the jello side down (marshmallow side up) roll the square into a roll (pinwheel).
• 8. Use dental floss to cut the Jello into 1/2 inch slices. You should get about 10 to 12 pinwheels.
• 9. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until needed.

JELLY PINWHEELS

Steps:

• Prepare a 25 x 25 slice tin with a very light spray of cooking oil - you do not want it to taste of oil!
• In a microwave proof bowl add the jelly crystals and cold water
• Heat on high for 1 minute, stir & check if crystals have dissolved, if not heat for a further 10 seconds.
• Add marshmallows and stir lightly into jelly.
• Heat for 15-30 seconds (only until marshmallows just begin to puff up **see below!)
• Using a whisk quickly mix together the ingredients until the marshmallow has completely dissolved.
• Pour into prepared slice tin and set on a level shelf in your refrigerator for an hour or until set
• Remove from the fridge and carefully pull away the mixture from one side of the tin to see if it will come away cleanly.
• Gently lift the set mixture onto a clean dry surface, marshmallow side up.
• If you feel it will catch at the sides of the tin gently run a knife around the edge.
• Begin at one end and with gently roll the jelly with the fingers of both of your hands, keeping the roll as firm and tight as possible.
• Mine always has funny ends - don't worry!
• Set seam side down on bench
• Get a clean piece of cotton about 15-20 cm long
• Slide the cotton under the roll about 1cm from the end and cross it over the top of the roll, pulling the cotton tight until it cuts through the rollup.
• Continue to do this every 1 cm down the roll until you have completely sliced it.
• Display on a plate and serve!
• Keep in fridge until ready to serve, best eaten the day it is made.
