Jello can be made with almost any fruit you can think of.You should wash, cut, and layer your fresh fruit in a bowl.Try mixing regular Jello powder with water or using homemade vegan gelatin instead.Put the dessert in the fridge for about 2 hours and pour the mixture over the fruit.The dessert can be removed from the bowl or mold after the Jello sets.
Step 1: Go to the bowl and pour a box of powder.
You can use the entire contents of a box.You can buy different brands of Jello at your local supermarket.
Step 2: When the powder is dissolved, add a cup of water.
The water should be poured into the bowl with the powder.Continue to stir until the powder is completely dissolved.It will take about 2 minutes.To stir the powder, use a fork, whisk, or rubber spatula.
Step 3: Add a small amount of cold water to the mix and stir for a few seconds.
The cold water will help get it to the right temperature.If you use canned fruit in your dessert, you can use the juices from the fruit can instead of cold water.This won't take as much time since the powder is already dissolved.
Step 4: You can choose between 3 or 4 types of fruit.
If you choose fruit with different colors, your Jello dessert will look gorgeous.A layer of strawberries, green grapes, raspberries, and red grapes can be made.You can either slice up a banana for a treat or put some canned pineapple in it.This is not an issue if you are using unflavored Jello.Keep in mind what fruits you like with mango when using Jello.For 1 standard 3 ounce package of Jello powder, you want about 2 pounds of fruit.
The fruits stop the Jello from solidifying.You would end up with a Jello.canned pineapple doesn't have this effectThere is a fun science fact about the fruits that stop the Jello from solidifying.If you use canned fruit, drain it and save the liquid.It can be used to make Jello.
Step 6: Take your fruit and slice it.
Thoroughly rinse your fruit.Then use a knife and a cutting board to slice it into smaller pieces.If you are using grapes, cut them in half.Remove the tops of the strawberries and cut them in half or quarters.A banana can be sliced into coins.Don't cut the fruit.Throw them in!
Step 7: You can put fruit in a bowl or Jello mold.
Put a layer of fruit on top of each other.Put all the strawberries in a layer.Continue until you use all of your fruit, then layer your next kind of fruit.Once the Jello is done, the fruit will look pretty.The Jello won't come out when you flip it upside-down if you use a bowl that curves inward at the opening.The fruit layers will be determined by the width of the bowl.You can use a tall, narrow bowl or a wide, shallow bowl.If the fruit does not fill the whole bowl, don't worry.The Jello will get into the cracks between the fruit.
Step 8: If you are vegan or vegetarian, make your own vegan Jello.
If you are vegan or vegetarian, you should make your own substitute for Jello because it is made from the ligaments of cows or pigs.It is possible to make it using agar-agar, which is a vegan, jelly-like substance.You can buy agar-agar at a health food store.
Step 9: Agar-agar, fruit juice, water, and sugar should be put into a pot on the stove.
To make red jello, combine agar-agar flakes, red grape juice, water, and white sugar.To make green jello, combine agar-agar flakes, green apple juice, water, and white sugar.If you put your burner on high heat, the mixture will boil quicker.
Step 10: The mixture needs to be boiled for two minutes.
Once it is fully boiling, start your timer for 2 minutes.Take the pot out of the heat after 2 minutes.Green jello can be made with a few drops of green food coloring.You don't need food coloring to make red jello.
Step 11: The Jello liquid mixture should be poured over the fruit.
The fruit should be covered completely with Jello mixture.The Jello will cover the fruit at the bottom of the bowl if you shake it a tiny bit.This works for both the conventional and vegan version.
Step 12: The bowl should be put in the fridge for 1.5 hours.
The Jello set will be made by the cold.Allow the Jello to be refrigerated for another hour if it hasn't set completely after 1.5 hours.Something went wrong if the Jello didn't set after 2.5 hours.If you want to try again, make sure your fridge is cold.
Step 13: Turn the bowl upside down.
Jello should fall onto the plate.Place your bowl in a shallow dish of hot water if it doesn't slide out easily.The hot water will cause the Jello to melt.When you see a bit of melting, take the bowl out and turn it upside down.The Jello is going to slide out.There are layers of fruit in the Jello.Once you slice the Jello, you will be able to see them.
Step 14: When you are ready to serve your dessert, chill it.
If you want to serve the Jello later, keep it in the refrigerator.To keep it from drying out, cover it with plastic wrap or seal it in a container.Jello fruit cakes can be used for a fun treat after dinner.Jello lasts about seven to ten days in the refrigerator.The Jello will turn into goop if you put it in the freezer.When you are ready to eat your Jello fruit cake, cut it into slices with a sharp knife, just as you would with an ordinary cake.
