When my extended family gets together on the 4th of July, I leave the grilling to my brother. But the task of bringing dessert always falls to me. There’s nothing more fun than coming up with new ways to create holiday-themed desserts.
This year, I hit Pinterest for inspiration — and of course it didn’t disappoint! So my family will be enjoying patriotic jello cups.
All you need is some whipped cream, about two cups each of blue berries and chopped strawberries and a box each of berry blue jello and strawberry jello. And use short tumbler-style clear plastic cups or glass cups so your patriotic colors shine through!
In the kitchen with Kelley: Patriotic jello cups
- 2 cups blue berries
- 2 cups chopped strawberries
- Can of whipped cream
- 1 box Berry blue jello
- 1 box Strawberry jello
- Water
- Prepare each box of jello according to directions on the box. Evenly divide the jello between your cups, filling halfway.
- If you’re using strawberry jello, place chopped strawberry pieces in each glass. If you’re using berry blue jello, place blueberries in each glass.
- Put the cups in the fridge to cool and set.
- When ready to serve, spray whipped cream on top of jello and sprinkle with additional chopped berries.
