Ingredients
Scale
Jello Base:
- 4 (3 oz) packages of jello (any flavor)
- 2.5 cups water
- 1.25 cups boiling water
Stabilizing Ingredients:
- 1 cup unflavored gelatin
Serving/Optional:
- 1 can whipped cream (optional)
- 1 small cookie sheet or pan for setting
- 1 knife for cutting shapes
Instructions
- Gather a medium-sized mixing bowl and prepare a clean cookie sheet or pan for setting the jello.
- Empty all four jello packages into the mixing bowl, combining them thoroughly.
- Pour boiling water over the jello powder, stirring continuously for 2-3 minutes until completely dissolved.
- Add room temperature water to the mixture, stirring until fully integrated.
- Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over the liquid mixture, whisking vigorously to prevent clumping.
- Continue stirring for an additional minute to ensure smooth consistency.
- Carefully transfer the liquid jello into the prepared cookie sheet, gently tilting to create an even layer.
- Refrigerate for 3 hours or until the jello becomes completely firm and set.
- Remove the jello from the refrigerator and let it rest at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the jello into desired shapes like squares, triangles, or fun geometric designs.
- Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for added sweetness and presentation.
- Store remaining jello jigglers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Experiment with different jello flavors to create vibrant, colorful combinations that will delight both kids and adults.
- Use silicone molds instead of a cookie sheet for unique, intricate shapes that make the jigglers more visually appealing.
- Reduce water slightly for firmer, more structured jigglers that hold their shape better when handled or cut.
- Replace regular water with fruit juice for an extra burst of natural flavor and slight nutritional boost.
