Molded Fruit Gelatin Recipe

American · Dessert · 20 min total

A classic, wobbly dessert made with fresh fruit and gelatin, perfect for a light and refreshing treat.

Ingredients

• 1 (3 oz) package fruit-flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, raspberry)
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 cup mixed fresh fruit (e.g., sliced strawberries, blueberries, diced peaches)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, to brighten flavor)
• Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, dissolve the gelatin powder in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
2. Stir in 1 cup of cold water and lemon juice (if using).
3. Arrange the fresh fruit in the bottom of a 4-cup mold or individual ramekins.
4. Carefully pour the gelatin mixture over the fruit.
5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
6. To unmold, dip the mold in warm water for a few seconds, then invert onto a serving plate. Garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Tips

• For best results, use fruit that is not too acidic (like citrus) as it may prevent the gelatin from setting.
• If using canned fruit, drain well and reduce the cold water slightly to compensate for extra liquid.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
