Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Jell-O gelatin (any flavor of your choice)
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, dissolve the Jell-O gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water by whisking until completely smooth.
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the bowl to cool the mixture quickly. Stir until the ice cubes are mostly dissolved and the mixture begins to thicken. Remove any remaining ice cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, whipping on low speed to combine, then returning to medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Slowly pour the cooled and thickened Jell-O mixture into the whipped cream, folding gently with a spatula to incorporate. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream—use gentle, sweeping motions.
Once fully combined, the mixture should be light and fluffy. Spread immediately onto the cooled angel food cake or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before use.
Serve the decorated angel food cake and enjoy the smooth, fruity whipped Jell-O icing!
