Equipment
- 8×8 dish Glass Dish
- Measuring Cup
- Whisk
- plastic wrap
- Refrigerator
Ingredients
- 2 cans of delightful Del Monte Fruit Cocktail featuring a medley of juicy and succulent fruits that add a tropical twist to the dessert.
- 5 cups of refreshing and chilled Cold Water providing a crisp and cool element to the dish.
- 12 oz of luscious and vibrant Strawberry Jello Mix infusing a burst of fruity sweetness into the recipe.
- 4 cups of steaming and bubbling Hot Water allowing the Jello mix to dissolve completely and meld its flavors together.
Instructions
- Take a glass dish and spread the sliced fruit cocktail evenly at the bottom of it.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cold water and jello mix until everything is well combined. Add in the hot water and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and all lumps are gone.
- Pour the jello mixture over the fruit cocktail and spread it out evenly. Cover the dish with some plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 4 hours or until it has completely set.
- Once set, remove from the fridge and cut into cubes or slices before serving.
Notes
- Make sure to use very cold water when mixing the jello with fruit cocktail, as this will help it set properly.
- Be sure not to overmix or stir too vigorously when combining the ingredients, as that can make the jello lumpy and less appealing.
- If you want a more colorful effect, you can add a few drops of food coloring to the hot water and jello mix.
- If you are using frozen fruit, make sure to thaw it before adding it to the dish.
- For added flavor, try using flavored jello mix or adding a pinch of cinnamon powder when making the jello mixture.
