Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz packets Flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, orange, or lime)
- 3 cups Boiling water
- 3 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 1.5 cups Cold water
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 1 cup Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve one packet of flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Once dissolved, add 1/2 cup of cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir to combine.
Place 1 cup of vanilla ice cream into the hot gelatin mixture and stir until the ice cream is fully melted and blended. The mixture will become creamy and slightly lighter in color.
Pour the mixture into a serving dish or individual dessert glasses and let it cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the dessert to the refrigerator and let it set for at least 1 hour, or until the gelatin is firm.
Repeat steps 1–5 with the remaining gelatin flavors, layering each color over the previous set layer in the serving dish or glasses. Allow each layer to fully set before adding the next (approximately 1 hour per layer).
Once all layers are complete and fully set, top the dessert with whipped cream and garnish with fresh fruit, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, colorful gelatin ice cream dessert!
