Jell-O

So boring, I know! Why would I post something about JELL-O!?
Because this was inspired by a nice recipe I found on the internet and so I decided to make my own, picking my jell-O flavor and my favorite fruits. It makes Jell-O actually fun! And helps my diet since sugar and fat free jell-o means no calories!


Getting it out of the pan can be tricky, but not hard at all.


HAVE FUN!


You're gonna need a 6 cups capacity angel food cake pan or bundt pan.


Ingredients
♥ 2 packages of Jell-O (I chose sugar free peach)
           < prepared with 10% less water than regular packaging instructions >
♥ 1 + 1/4 cups fruits (at least 3 different kinds)


Preparing the jell-o
Wet the pan of your choice sprinkling and spreading some water all over its inside. (This will help taking the jell-o out of the pan).
After dissolving all the Jell-O according to this recipe, fill the bottom of the pan with about 1/3 of the liquid and distribute the fruits around it. Leave it in the fridge for about 35 minutes or until slightly set.
Make another layer of jell-o liquid + fruits. Back to the fridge and then make the last layer.
Let it cool in the fridge for about 4 hours or overnight.
Let it outside of the fridge for about 5 minutes. Put a plate covering the pan and turn it upside down. VOILÀ! You should have a perfect, cool jell-o/fruit dessert!


Told you Jell-O could be fun! Indulge your sweet tooth. Guilt free!
A nice variation would be making half of a pudding recipe, something that will set well and cover the bottom of the pan with that. Then star with the layers of jell-O.


♥ The fruits I picked and other cool options:
Raspberries
Blackberries
Blueberries
Grapes
Strawberries
Kiwi
Carambola
Pear or apple cut with cookie cutters in different shapes
etc...


Tips:
Don't forget to spray the pan with water to make it easy when transferring the dessert to the plate
Serve it on a cake platter for a fancy look
To make it look chic, you can try edible flowers or fresh peppermint leaves with the fruits too;
Choose a light, transparent jell-o flavor so your fruits can be seen! Peach, pineapple or unflavored gelatin with fruit juice are perfect options.
IMPORTANT: If you're making your own gelatine, DO NOT USE PINEAPPLE JUICE as it won't set! Enzymes will eat the gelatine and you'll end up with a gooey mess!
