Layered Strawberry Jello Cups

 

Ingredients:

For the Jello Layers:

  • 2 (3 oz) packages of strawberry Jello (or any red fruit flavor)
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups cold water

For the Creamy Layer:

  • 1 (3 oz) package of instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh strawberries, sliced
  • Whipped cream
  • Mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Jello Layers:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve one package of strawberry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
  2. Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jello mixture and stir.
  3. Pour the Jello into clear cups or glasses, filling them about 1/3 of the way.
  4. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the Jello is set.

2. Make the Creamy Layer:

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 ½ cups of cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
  2. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
  3. Spoon or pipe the creamy mixture over the set Jello layer, filling the cups another 1/3 of the way.
  4. Return the cups to the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the final Jello layer.

3. Add the Final Jello Layer:

  1. Repeat the Jello preparation steps with the second package of strawberry Jello: dissolve it in 1 cup of boiling water, then add 1 cup of cold water.
  2. Let the Jello cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes) so it doesn’t melt the creamy layer.
  3. Carefully pour the Jello over the creamy layer, filling the cups to the top.
  4. Refrigerate for another 1-2 hours, or until fully set.

4. Add Toppings (Optional):

  1. Before serving, top each cup with a dollop of whipped cream, fresh strawberry slices, and a mint leaf for a decorative touch.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Serve chilled and enjoy these beautiful, layered treats!
