Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Fruit-flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry or lime)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1.5 cups Chilled ginger ale
- 1 cup Canned pineapple tidbits (drained)
- 1 cup Sliced strawberries
- 1 cup Seedless grapes (halved)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Let the gelatin mixture cool slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, pour in the chilled ginger ale, stirring gently to incorporate the fizz without making it go flat.
Fold in the drained pineapple tidbits, sliced strawberries, halved grapes, and mini marshmallows.
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 inch glass dish or individual serving cups for a fancier presentation.
Refrigerate the dish or cups for at least 4 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
Before serving, optionally add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each portion and sprinkle with fresh mint leaves for garnish.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing Ginger Ale Fruit Jello Salad!
