What are some great recipes that take Jello?

Answer 1

Flourescent Jello Cake
1 package of white cake mix
ingredients to make the white cake
2 packages of jello, different colors is better
somewhere between a cup and a pint of whipping cream
Sugar and vanilla for the whip cream, to taste (about 2 tbsp sugar for a cup of cream)

Make the white cake according to directions. let cool
While the cake is baking make the jello packages separately with only 1/2 the water (should be 1 cup boiling water each.)
Poke a lot of holes into the cake with a medium thick stick, like the big end of a chop stick. (every 3/4 inch or so)
Pour cooled but still-liquid jello over the cake, alternating colors in different areas. Make sure to saturate the entire cake, particularly the holes.
Chill cake until the jello solidifies.
While the jello is solidifying, whip the cream with the sugar, vanilla, and food coloring. If desired, make multiple batches of colored whipcream.
Frost cake with whip cream.
Ideally, when this cake is cut, you'll see a sort of marbled effect from the different colors of jello

Sangria Jello
2 packages of red Jello
1cup red wine
2tbsp triple sec
juice of 1 lemon
1/4 c orange juice
small jar maraschino cherries
slices of lemon and orange
Heat wine to boiling. Stir into jello. Add triple sec and juices. Place in a clear bowl and refrigerate. When semi-solid stir in cherries and arrange orange and lemon slices around sides and on top. Refrigerate until fully congealed.

Answer 4

Jello shots are not really supposed to "set right". They are not like the jello you eat for desert but are meant to be "Slurpped" rather than eaten with a spoon. If you want jello "shots" that you can pick up and eat with your fingers, use 1 part vodka to 3 parts water instead of 1 part vodka to 1 part water. Bert
