Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (3 oz) box strawberry or cherry Jell-O
- 1 (3 oz) box berry blue Jell-O
- 2 cups boiling water (1 cup per Jell-O flavor)
- 2 cups cold water (1 cup per Jell-O flavor)
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1 cup blueberries
- Whipped cream or whipped topping, for serving
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 8 small clear plastic cups or dessert cups
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberry or cherry Jell-O by mixing it with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then add 1 cup cold water. Pour evenly into the bottom of the cups, filling halfway. Chill for 1–2 hours until set.
- Once the red layer is set, add a layer of chopped strawberries over it.
- Prepare the berry blue Jell-O using the same method (1 cup boiling water + 1 cup cold water). Let it cool to room temperature.
- Pour the blue Jell-O gently over the strawberry layer, filling the rest of the cup. Add blueberries into the blue Jell-O.
- Chill for another 2 hours, or until fully set.
- Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
Notes
- Use clear cups to show off the colorful layers.
- Chill each layer thoroughly before adding the next to prevent mixing.
- Can be made a day ahead and kept in the fridge until serving.
