Coconut Pineapple Mold

Here is the coconut pineapple mold I made last week. It turned out amazing! To make it mix 1 box lemon Jell-O with 1/2 cup boiling water. Mix until dissolved. Add 1 5.6oz can of coconut milk. And chill until partially set. Whip with electric mixer until stiff and foamy. Fold in pineapple tid-bits and chill until set. (This would also be good with rum, but I didn't have any.)

Enjoy!

Peach Jellies

Sorry! I forgot to take pictures of the Christmas Jell-O Molds, and by the time I remembered there was only one little smidget left.

But I did get a picture of these delicious peach jellies made from peach jam, peach juice, gelatin and sugar. They turned out fantastic! Not like the Applet and Cotlet type recipe I've been searching for but more like Boston Fruit Slices. I will definitely be making these again.

I got the recipe from Everyday Food and hardly changed it at all. The only thing I did differently was I didn't bother pouring it through a fine-mesh sieve. I don't have a dish washer, and I just couldn't see it being worth trying to clean that sticky mess out of my sieve. And I'm not sure they would have been any better if I had strained it anyhow. They seemed perfect as is.

Triple Layer Mold

Here's the magnificent mold I will be presenting for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow... funny they always ask me to bring Jell-O... It's a triple layer mold.



The top layer is almond gelatin:
3 packages gelatin
1/2 cup sugar
1 T. almond flavoring
2 cups boiling water.
Mix all until dissolved. Pour half of your gelatin into your mold and let it chill until partially set. Then arrange fruit, pour in remaining gelatin. Chill.

Middle layer:
1 package lemon Jell-O
1 package gelatin
1/2 jar coconut gel
1/2 cup coconut gel liquid
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 T. condensed milk
Mix all until dissolved. Chill until partially set. Pour in mold. Chill.

Bottom layer:
2 packages orange Jell-O
1 package gelatin
4 cups boiling water
mandarin oranges
4 T. condensed milk
Mix all until dissolved. Chill until partially set. Pour in mold. Chill until firm.

Enjoy!

Dutch Jelly

I know, I've been a Jell-O making slacker the past few months. But one of these days I'll get caught up, and until then I've got Dutch Jelly! Recently my friends went on a trip to Amsterdam and brought me back all types of Dutch and European jelly and puddings! Thanks! Here's the first one I've tried complete with the poorly translated instructions.



1: Bring a half liter water to cook.

2: Joint the contents of the bundle and rudder these by the ebullient water to that the powder has been entirely solved.

3: The pudding in haircuts or in an already too high pudding form does not pour.

4: Late the jelly pudding cool down and place these afterwards at least 2 hours in the frigidaire.

Tip: YOU get a nice fresh dessert by the haircuts or the pudding form strawberries or other fresh fruit to fill. Furthermore you follow above construction manner.


Enjoy!

Blackberries 'n Cream Mold

One thing I love about this time of the year, is that there are blackberries growing along every country road and in every empty lot. They are just waiting there, ripe for the picking. This year I stole them from the used car lot behind the apartments. I have to admit that this is the first thing I have ever stolen from a used car lot, and they certainly are delicious!

Here's the recipe:
1 box of 6oz blackberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
Mix until dissolved. Pour a little into your mold and arrange blackberries. Chill until set. Pour a little more into the mold and chill until nearly firm. Add...
1 can of condensed milk
...to the remaining Jell-O. Chill until very thick but not set, for those of you who make pudding I would describe this as "trace." Fold in blackberries and pour into mold. Chill until firm.

Cheers!

Strawberry Coconut Cake

This recipe was a request from Zack. It is an excellent selection, thanks!

(It reminds me of a giant pink snow ball!)


I pretty much followed this recipe word or word, but I wished I had mixed it for about five minutes longer. The gelatin makes it nice and fluffy, so the cake turns out supper moist. I used a strawberry Jell-O mix with white cake mix, but I can also see lemon being delicious in a yellow cake mix, or raspberry in a chocolate cake mix for a swell red velvet cake. The coconut is also a nice addition to hide all my mistakes in frosting it. Overall I'd say this is an excellent quick and easy cake recipe.


Adding wax paper to the bottom of your cake pan really helps to keep it from sticking. I do this when I bake all my cakes.

This would also be good with sliced strawberries on top if you're not a coconut fan.

Enjoy!

Fouth of July Jell-O

Wishing everyone a "sane and safe" 4th of July one day early... unless of course you're a pyromaniac... in which case I hope you enjoy tomorrow to the full extent... and mange to keep all your fingers in the process.
Enjoy!

I basically made a stained glass mold with whipped cream and stripes instead of chunks.
