Lobster Jello

My sister Kateri sent me this Lobster mold and I wanted to use it right away so I made a lobster jello for yet another Scorpio birthday, Jacob’s. This orange jello lobster with pistachio D’gari jello base is actually a remake of the original jello made for the party that did not turn out looking […]

Jello Party

To celebrate my own Scorpio birthday this year I threw a Jello Party. I made my first savory jello for the occasion of chive cream cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce.  I also created an array of liquor filled mini jellos in such flavors as peach, mango, gooseberry, and mojito, all with either […]

Cherry Pineapple Jello

Scorpio Birthday season continues with Lans’ birthday. For the occasion I made this cherry jello with rum, topped with pineapple.

Black Rose Jello

Scorpio Birthday season is fully upon us and for Art and Maya’s Birthday/Halloween bash I made this Black Rose jello with black cherry jello and vodka (yes, that’s me dressed as a Vulcan). The rose tips are highlighted with sweetened condensed milk.  Art got this rose mold for me while in Greece this summer. Thank […]

Pumpkin Jello

Halloween is here and to celebrate I made this seasonal jello with canned pumpkin, cinnamon and cool whip. Happy Halloween everyone!

Swedish Fish Jello

My mother gave me this mold a while ago and it always reminded me of a Swedish Fish.  So I was inspired to make this jello recreation of the candy in classic cherry flavor.

Claire’s Jello Watercolors

Claire, for whom I made the Mimosa Jello, has been stretching her artistic wings and was inspired by my jellos.  She painted these cute greeting cards in watercolor of her favorite jellos.  Adorable!

Mimosa Jello

Claire’s annual birthday brunch was a hit this year and so was my Mimosa Jello made with OJ and an entire bottle of champagne. Happy Birthday Claire!

Pineapple Jello

Marty is extra excited about this gelatinous pineapple replica made with pineapple and lime jello and crushed pineapple.  Rebecca found this mold in upstate NY and gave it to me. Thank you Rebecca. Pineapple is the symbol of welcome. In this case welcome to Fall.

Cherry Cream Jello

Rebecca C hosted a brunch in which I served little cherry cream jellos singles made with cherry jello and sweetened condensed milk, topped with powered sugar.  I also served a large version of the Coffee Kahlua jello that Rebecca K couldn’t wait to cut and serve.

Clickable, wiggly, Jello animation by Rafaël Rozendaal and Reinier Feijen. Hours of entertainment!

Coffee Kahlua Jello

I ordered a baker’s dozen of these little molds specifically for this jello recipe.  Instant coffee, sweetened condensed milk, and Kahlua make up these small but very rich mini jellos topped with whipped cream and shaved chocolate. The recipe for this appears in my book, Hello Jell-O! 

Strawberry Shortcake Jello

This jello is more cake than jello. Its an angel food ring sunk down in mashed strawberries and strawberry jello.  A slice is topped off with a dollop of whipped cream.

Peaches & Cream (with Schnapps)

John and Lans enjoy my Peach Schnapps Jello at a Labor Day BBQ.  This Jello is composed of Peach jello with canned peaches and Schnapps on the top layer and sweetened condensed milk on the bottom layer.

Stained Glass Jello

Laura (aka Lil Mama) brought this recipe to my attention. Its is constructed of blocks of strawberry, lime, and blueberry Jello suspended in a mixture of Knox and what I consider to be God’s gift to gelatin: sweetened condensed milk.  MmmMmm! Expect more sweetened condensed milk jellos because it’s really very amazing.

Joys of Jell-O

My parents found this vintage gem of a recipe book for 50 cents at a library sale in Virginia. The Joys of Jell-O, circa 1960-something, proves that people in the 60s had some funny ideas about food (as well as a kitschy aesthetic for food photography).  The book contains the usual, some silly (re: Birthday […]

Sparkling Champagne Mold

In an effort to make more ‘from scratch’ jello recipes I’ve employed Knox unflavored gelatine to make this mold with ginger ale, champagne, sliced strawberries, and grapes.

Blueberry Yogurt Jello

This blueberry jello mold with blueberries and vanilla frozen yogurt was a hit with the kids a pool party (and a nice compliment to the pool itself).

Gold Fish Jello

Kelly takes a poke at this gold fish Jello mold made with orange Jello, orange sherbet, mandarin oranges and a one blueberry eyeball.
