This is an impressive looking jello dessert recipe but it is simpler to make than you might think. Lots of layered dessert recipes look stunning but once you know how to get the layered effect you will realize that anybody can make a dessert that looks like that.
With a lot of layered strawberry jello cake recipes, you simply need to beat half the jello with whipped topping and leave half as it is. The air in the whipped topping will make that layer float on top of the heavier layer. You can make this teardrop-shaped strawberry jello cake in ramekins, molds or even as one big jello mold, then cut it up. Make a white jello base using gelatin and cream, or simply serve it as a two-layer cake.
For a light, refreshing dessert, this strawberry jello dessert cake really hits the spot. You could also use raspberry jello if you prefer for a slightly different flavor. This is definitely one of the best jello cake recipes. The garnish is up to you. A chocolate candy and a blackberry is a great garnish to go on top of the jello cake, or you could leave it plain or use something else.
Ingredients -
1 ½ cups boiling water
1 package (8 serving size) strawberry jello
1 cup cold water
Ice cubes
1 ½ cups thawed cool whip topping
8 chocolate candies for decoration
Strawberry syrup and mint leaves to garnish (optional)
Preparation:
Stir boiling water into the jello in a big bowl until dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to make 1 ½ cups. Add this to the jello and stir until the ice melts.
Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until thickened. Remove 1-½ cups of the jello and leave it at room temperature. Add ¾ cup of whipped topping and stir with a wire whisk.
Pour into eight individual ramekins. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until set.
Spoon the rest of the jello over the creamy layers in the ramekins.
Refrigerate for 3 hours or until firmly set. Place each dessert on a serving plate with a chocolate candy on top and decorate the plates with mint leaves and some dots of strawberry syrup if you like.
(Serves 8)
