Jello parfait ingredients

Patriotic Parfait Ingredients

  • Red Jello – look for cherry, raspberry, or even black cherry
  • White Chocolate Pudding – I prefer instant pudding
  • Cold Milk – we use skim, but any would do. Just avoid soy milk as it won’t set
  • Blueberries – fresh is always best

How to make your parfaits

Prepare your jello according to directions. Set aside. Lightly spray the inside of your parfait glass with vegetable oil.

Jello FAQs

  1. What is Jello?
    Jello, also known as gelatin dessert, is a sweet and colorful dessert made from gelatin, sugar, and flavorings. It is available in various flavors and forms, such as powdered gelatin or pre-made gelatin cups.
  2. How does Jello set?
    Jello sets when the gelatin molecules in the mixture form a network, trapping the liquid and creating a solid or semi-solid texture. This process occurs when the gelatin is dissolved in hot water, and then cooled to allow it to solidify.
  3. Can I use hot water to dissolve the Jello faster?
    It is not recommended to use boiling or very hot water to dissolve Jello, as it can denature the gelatin and prevent it from setting properly. It’s best to use hot water that is below boiling temperature.
  4. Can I use cold water instead of hot water to dissolve Jello?
    Cold water is not recommended for dissolving Jello because it may not fully dissolve the gelatin powder. Dissolving Jello in hot water helps ensure the gelatin is evenly distributed and properly set.
