Vegan "jello" Gelatin

Tue, 04 Jul 2006 20:24:55 -0400

From fatfree.com You can make vegetarian jello (jelled yumminess without the hooves and bones) by using agar-agar! Try different types of juices or flavored liquids as well as different types of chopped fruits or other additions, as you like. Be creative. Chilling time not reflected in cooking time listed below. The texture is a little different than conventional Jello, but it does jell up quite nice and it tastes really good with unsweetened berry juices. -- posted by VegSocialWorker

Cherry Coke Salad

Mon, 10 Jul 2006 22:33:16 -0400

I was looking for something a little different to take to a family BBQ and found this in my Taste of Home 2003 annual recipes cookbook. The thing I like most about this recipe is the ingredients are usually in my cupboards. Very pretty if you make it in a glass serving bowl. Makes a great dessert, too. -- posted by Watkinslady30

Chris's Favorite Cherry Jello

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 13:26:36 -0400

A Jello recipe from my mom that she even named after me for our local cookbook. I love it for the deep cherry flavor. It works great for potlucks or as a side dish to serve with dinner. Chill time is cooking time. -- posted by Topher

Mon, 24 Jul 2006 21:02:54 -0400

I didn't see this posted here, and I'm really surprised! So, here it is. We had this after church today at the home of some good friends. This is delicious and can be used with any combination of flavor jello along with like flavor yogurt. The one we had was strawberry. Yum! Try it - you won't be disappointed!

Raspberry Orange Mold

Sun, 03 Sep 2006 21:05:35 -0400

My mom used to make this fruit, jello, and ice cream mold every special dinner when I was growing up. I'd forgotten about it, but I just stumbled upon it again. Had to whip some up. Mmmmmm--or maybe it is just nostalgia---you'll have to tell me. Cook time is chill time, and can probably be reduced. The instructions have been revised based on Kittencal's review. -- posted by megnbrycesmom

From Pearl Organic Soymilk. Super easy, cool and creamy dessert. I found the chocolate flavor to be VERY mild; however, the kids absolutely inhaled it, and I love a healthy dessert! Posted the recipe as stated but I used five custard cups and served without removing from the cups. Fresh berries make a nice side. -- posted by LonghornMama

Extreme Cranberry Mousse

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 09:54:09 -0500

This makes a wonderful make-ahead holiday dessert that can be spooned into a prepared graham cracker crust, or into individual 3-inch tart shells lined with a graham cracker crust. I like to use half package each of the cranberry gelatin and the raspberry, it really gives the moussse a great flavor, but that is optional. I suggest to use only Ocean Spray Juice Cocktail and jellied cranberry sauce, I made this with alternative products and the taste was just not as good. If you are using tall thin dessert glasses you should get 7-8 but it will depend on the size of your serving glasses, so yield is only estimated. Prep time includes chilling time. -- posted by KITTENCAL

Lemon - Lime Congealed Salad

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 16:15:47 -0500

This is one of my favourite memories from going to my Grandma's house. She would make this every Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday and there were hardly any leftovers.

This is an old recipe of my mothers, though I am not sure where it originated. I am not a fan of lime or even marshmallows really, but this stuff is dee-lish!

Jello Fruit Wedges

Mon, 12 Feb 2007 22:52:42 -0500

I made these fun little guys for my 14 mo. old nephew and they were perfect! Being so young, it was better for him to eat a "Jello orange" than a real one. These were a hit with the whole family--not just the kids! Originally I found the recipe somewhere online, and I have found that its best to keep to the orange flavors, as other rinds have a more bitter taste that changes the taste of the Jello. -- posted by Pikake21

Circus Peanut Salad

Tue, 13 Feb 2007 16:31:08 -0500

Make your own jelly (Australian for Jello Gelatine) at home from fruit juice! A good friend gave me this recipe from the Small Fry Inspiration for Cooking with Kids cookbook by Susie Cameron and Katrina Crook. You can substitute 1 400g (14oz) can of pitted cherries using the syrup as well as cherries (or blueberries). Don't use pineapple! -- posted by BonnieD Oz

Almond Jelly Chunks With Sweet Tangy Longan

I have been searching for the perfect recipe to make the jelly for this dessert but it always came out wrong and not to my liking. But now I've got it right after some experimenting and it has become a favourite in my home, even with my mom who hates almond jelly (surprisingly!). And the lemon really makes a huge difference, I love everything about this dessert! I hope you'll like it too =) If you can't find canned longan, you can substitute with canned lychees (litchi).

For those of you who aren't familiar with Jaffa cakes, just google-image-search "jaffa cake" and you'll find pics. Little tiny flat sponge cakes with orange jelly on them and all coated in chocolate.

Grandma Norma's Jell-O Salad (Cranberry-Apple Jell-O Salad)

Thu, 15 Nov 2007 19:55:45 -0500

This is called "Grandma Norma's Jell-o" in my family because my cousins' Grandma Norma used to make it for holiday dinners. Now that Grandma Norma hasn't been with us for many years, the tradition lives on as my Grandma Katie makes it each Thanksgiving. It's my favorite part of the Thanksgiving dinner, and I always get to take home all the leftovers. Last year Grandma Katie finally gave me the recipe, so I thought I'd share it with you all. Do it in a nice cut glass bowl for easy serving, or use a mold if desired. The walnuts are nice but not necessary, and we don't use them if small children will be dining with us. Cook time is chill time. -- posted by ketchupqueen

Pick Your Flavor Homemade Jello Gelatin

Tue, 06 May 2008 23:33:13 -0400

This is even better than the real Jello! using juice in place of water will intensify the flavor even more, for orange jello use orange juice etc --- for sugar-free use a sugar substitute in place of sugar --- you will need to experiment with the the amount of sugar to suit you taste, my family likes it sweet so I use 1 cup you may wish to reduce amount to 3/4 or slightly less --- have fun with this and choose different flavors :) -- posted by KITTENCAL

Unknownchef86's July 4th Creamy Red, White & Blue Jello

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:04:15 -0400

What do you get when you combine two Zaar recipes...and give it a twist? It would look distinctively something like this. It didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it, as I wanted only three distinctive layers and wound up with four, and the red and blue are lighter than I wanted, but it was really, really good...so I was willing to look past its faults. I'll still keep experimenting with it, but I thought it would be a good one to post for the 4th of July. Cooking time is chilling time (between layers and after assembly). Other flavors would work well with this, also...like a layer of orange and a layer of white. A few things worth noting: 1) For presentation purposes, try to find a plain vanilla ice-cream (without vanilla bean flecks) in it. 2) Allow 15-30 minutes for the first and second layers to set before you pour on the next layer or the layers will mix together and won't be separate. 3) Make the blue layer first if you want the layers to be red, white and blue from the top down. 4) The white layer has a very delicate, almost custard-like, flavor which goes well with the fruit flavors. If you want a more more pronounced flavor, add a little bit of vanilla (preferably white vanilla, so it doesn't change the color) or use Recipe #25883. 5) I found it far easier and quicker to open the side of the box of ice cream and slice it with a long knife than to dig it out with a scoop. 6) For darker colors in the red and blue, you could add a little paste food coloring to reach desired color. 7) I created this recipe due to some inspiration from two 'Zaar recipes: Recipe #25883 and Recipe #108778. Thank you to dojemi and faith58 for your inspiration. -- posted by UnknownChef86

Raspberry & Rice Dessert

Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:54:05 -0500

I've always loved the rice cream you get in the cans ever since I can remember & when I saw this recipe in Recipes + I just had to save it. Only 4 ingredients, sounds simple but I imagine would look quite elegant once made. -- posted by **Mandy**

Apricot Bavarian Cream

Sat, 21 Feb 2009 10:02:16 -0500

A silky, light and luscious dessert. It will make unmolding a lot easier if you spray the molds with a little cooking spray. Chilling time not included in preparation time. From the Western chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. -- posted by Molly53

Rainbow Jello

Instead of cubing the geatin, you could use cookie cutters to create pretty, jiggly heart shapes. I have not tried this jello. I'm posting this for safe keeping. I found this recipe in Parents magazine. -- posted by internetnut

Easy Orange Salad/Dessert

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:16:52 -0500

I'm prefacing this recipe with I'm pregnant and have some strange cravings these days! I really like the combination of cottage cheese and sour cream. I came up with this salad as a result of looking over oodles of recipes! Any flavor of jello will work - you may want to change the fruit to compliment the jello flavor you are using. **Cooking time is chilling time. Updated -- I remade this and agree with reviewer, the jello does need to be dissolved or it will be gritty. This is not a sweet salad, so if you want it sweeter, you would need to use whipped cream or add sugar. -- posted by kittycatmom

There are a few recipes like this one, but each has something a little different than mine. My family happens to love this recipe the way I make it, so I wanted to share it with all of you. Great dessert for a kid's party. Let the kids help you make this one! -- posted by Golden Sunflower

Creamsicle Gelatin Mold

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:34:38 -0400

Mmm.... A delicious and healthy dessert treat. Do not use fresh or frozen fruit for this recipe. The gelatin will not set up. Cook time is time in the refrigerator. This doesn't taste a lot like a creamsicle, but it's delicious all the same, and the coconut really adds to this dessert. -- posted by 2Bleu (Bird&Buddha)

Tropical Fruity Jello

Sun, 28 Jun 2009 17:30:51 -0400

To make jello a little more interesting, I added my favourite tropical fruits and it worked beautifully! This is so refreshing on a hot day and the low sugar version is great for waistline-watchers. I use sugar free jello but feel free to use a small packet of regular peach jello. I have been told that fresh pineapple prevents gelatin from setting so only use canned for this recipe. Cook time is chilling time. -- posted by Shuzbud

Old-Fashioned English Summer Berry Jelly and Ice Cream!

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 16:17:56 -0400

Little wibbly-wobbly ruby red jellies with mixed summer berries, so cooling and great with ice cream. There is nothing I love more than taking a basket to the end of my garden to pick an assortment of ripe summer berries when they are in season! The sense of satisfaction at picking your own fruit is wonderful. Although I have called these little jellies English summer berry jellies, I DO make these in France of course - it's just that the berries remind me of my grandparent's gardens and picking the fruit when I was little...plus, the combination of berries is the same as a traditional English Summer Pudding recipe! I make these in little vintage metal moulds, they look so pretty served this way; you can of course make this recipe in a large mould, but DO allow extra time for the jelly to set. -- posted by French Tart
