This jiggly, layered mold holds a base of clear crimson (sweet cherry) and a topping of ivory white (tangy lemon mixed with sour cream). If you have extra time, you could make it into four layers, producing red and ivory stripes. Garnished with shiny green leaves like bay or holly, it looks especially festive, and is also quite delicious. Swapping out some of the water in the Jell-O formula for ingredients like sour cream and cherry juice gives this dessert its bright taste.

Cherry-Lemon Cream Jell-O Mold

lemon Jell-O

water

(16-ounce) sour cream

Neutral cooking spray

sweet or tart cherry juice,

Fresh holly sprigs, bay leaves

Pour lemon mix into a medium bowl and add 2 cups boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then let cool until warm but not steaming hot, about 10 minutes. Gradually whisk in sour cream until smooth.

Spray a 10- or 12-cup mold or Bundt pan, preferably nonstick, very lightly with neutral cooking spray. Blot any extra oil with paper towels. Pour in lemon-sour cream mixture and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.

About 15 minutes before lemon-sour cream mixture has set, pour cherry mix into a large bowl and add 2 cups boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then stir in cherry or cranberry juice. Make sure mixture has cooled to lukewarm at most before proceeding.

When lemon-sour cream mixture is set, gently ladle the cherry mixture over it. Don’t pour it on top, as the mixture breaks easily. Refrigerate again until completely set, at least 3 hours or overnight. (If you want to create multiple thinner layers of Jell-O, as seen in the picture here, instead of just one layer of each flavor, see Note.)

When ready to unmold, run the tip of a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to break the seal. Dip the bottom half of the mold in warm (not hot) water for 15 seconds. Place a serving plate over the top and flip to unmold. (If the mold doesn’t come out immediately, don’t shake it; try the warm water treatment again, 15 seconds at a time, until it comes out. If you leave the mold in the water for a longer time, it may start to melt.)

Just before serving, garnish, then slice, using a sharp knife and wiping the blade between slices.

Garnished with fresh raspberries and mint leaves and arranged in the shape of a tree, these tasty lemon custard cream puffs make a great presentation!

Arrange 15 cream puffs on platter to resemble Christmas tree shape. Add remaining puffs at bottom for the trunk. Sprinkle tree with powdered sugar. Garnish with raspberries and mint.

Lemon Pineapple Jell-O with Pineapple Whipped Cream Topping is a light and refreshing slice of vintage wonderfulness!  The deliciously sweet and citrusy stuff can be served as a salad or a dessert and served with or without the chopped walnuts on top.

Lemon Pineapple Jello with Pineapple Whipped Cream Topping

lemon jello

Marshmallows

pineapple

juice pineapple

egg (beaten)

Tablespoon all-purpose flour

granulated sugar (divided)

heavy whipping cream

vanilla

walnuts (chopped (optional))

Heat 2 cups of water to boiling by microwaving in a large glass bowl for 4-5 minutes.  Stir in contents of the Jell-O package until it dissolves.  Separate the pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple by draining the juice into a small saucepan and setting aside for later.

Add marshmallows to the hot lemon Jell-O and stir until dissolved, then stir in the crushed pineapple.  Stir in 2 additional cups of cold water, and pour into a large rectangular glass dish.  Transfer the Jell-O to the fridge and allow to set completely, about 3-4 hours.

While the Jell-O is setting up in the fridge, prepare the pineapple whipped cream topping by whisking the beaten egg, flour, and 1/4 cup sugar with the reserved pineapple juice in a small saucepan and heating over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 4 to 6 minutes.  Remove from heat and cool completely.

In another bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed, gradually adding  the additional 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla, until whipped cream forms and holds its shape when beaters are removed.

Fold the cooled pineapple juice mixture into the whipped cream until combined, then spread over the completely set Jell-O.  Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts and refrigerate until ready to serve.
