Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages Gelatin (flavored, such as strawberry or lime)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 3 cups Mixed fruits (such as diced strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries)
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional)
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin by pouring 2 cups of boiling water over it. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add 2 cups of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir well.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator for about 30-40 minutes, until the gelatin has thickened slightly but is not fully set (it should have the consistency of loose egg whites).
While the gelatin chills, prepare the mixed fruits by washing, drying, and cutting them into bite-sized pieces.
Once the gelatin has thickened, gently fold in the mixed fruits, spreading them evenly throughout the mixture.
Transfer the mixture to a decorative serving dish or individual cups, if desired. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the dish for an additional 3-4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream and garnish with a sprig of mint leaves for a fresh and elegant touch.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Fruit Jello Delight!
