Ice Cream Jello

Recipe #108778 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | SERVES 24 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: faith58

I had this recipe at a shower over 20 years ago and since then has been a must have at holiday's, graduation parties and get-togethers. I use a glass 9x13-inch dish and after it's done it's really pretty to look at and even better to eat.. It is Better if You use vanilla and not vanilla bean ice cream. Thank you!!

Ingredients

  • 1 (3 ounce) package cherry Jell-O
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O gelatin
  • 1 (3 ounce) package lime Jell-O gelatin
  • 1 (3 ounce) package orange Jell-O
  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, sliced into fourths
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Add 1 cup of boiling water to package of cherry Jello and stir.
    2. 2
      Add 1/4 of the vanilla ice cream and use a whisk to whip with the Jello.
    3. 3
      Let set in a clear 9x13-inch pan for 15 minutes or as Wife2uRick suggested waiting 15-30 minutes or until set.
    4. 4
      Then Add 1 cup of boiling water to package of lemon Jello and add 1/4 of the vanilla ice cream and use a whisk to whip with the Jello.
    5. 5
      Let set on top of the cherry layer for 15 minutes or until set.
    6. 6
      Then add 1 cup to the lime Jello and add 1/4 of the vanilla ice cream and whisk to whip with the Jello.
    7. 7
      Let set on top of lemon Jello for 15 minutes or until set.
    8. 8
      Then with the last box of Jello which is orange add 1 cup of boiling water and the last 1/4 vanilla ice cream and whisk together and put on top of lime Jello and let set.
    9. 9
      I usually do other things while I am making this and you can also use your favorite jello's but these together taste really good and I always am asked to bring it.
    10. 10
      Note: I usually cut my ice-cream in fourths and leave the ice-cream in the freezer until I use each 1/4th for the Jello.
    11. 11
      Jello can be stored in refrigerator when done. :).

    I loved the recipe, unfortunately the 6 yr old girls weren't as enthusiastic.

    This was ok. I dont think I would put it on my "make again soon" list. I used vanilla bean ice cream, maybe that was too intense. But nice to have in the recipe files!

    I loved this dessert! I have heard some relatives say that this takes all day to prepare - but it only took me about an hour and a half. I cut down on the time by cutting the ice cream and storing it in the fridge, which made it easier to stir into the jello. I also sprayed the bottom of the glass pan and between each layer with non-stick cooking spray. After I was done with one layer, I stuck it in the fridge and then started boiling my water for my next layer. But don't let the water boil too long or the water will start to evaporate and will make the layer too thick. This was a delightful and tasty dish! The appearance is so impressive - looks like you slaved over it! The flavors are unbelievable - thank you Faith for a simply scrumptious dessert that everyone is sure to enjoy!!!

    I took this to a potluck last night, and everyone enjoyed it. Very pretty !!! Our stores only carry icecream in pails, I used a big scoop of icecream that would have been a little more than a cup. This works well if you have to measure. :D
