Alright folks, gather ’round! Today, I’m spilling the beans on my latest kitchen adventure: jello desserts with cream cheese. Sounds kinda fancy, right? Well, trust me, it’s easier than making toast. Let’s dive in!
First off, I grabbed my ingredients. We’re talking jello (duh!), cream cheese, some boiling water, cold water, and maybe some fruit if you’re feeling extra. I went with strawberry jello ’cause…well, I like strawberries. Don’t judge.
So, I started by blooming the jello. I poured the powder into a bowl and then added boiling water. Stirred it like crazy until all the little crystals disappeared. Then, I added the cold water and stirred it some more. This is important – you don’t want grainy jello.
Now, for the cream cheese part. I softened a block of cream cheese (very important or you’ll end up with lumps) and beat it until it was smooth and creamy. Then, I slowly added some of the jello mixture to the cream cheese, mixing it until it was fully combined. You wanna do this gradually to avoid a curdled mess.
Once the cream cheese mixture was smooth, I poured it into the remaining jello. Mixed it all up real good. At this point, I tossed in some sliced strawberries. You could use any fruit you want – raspberries, blueberries, even canned peaches. It’s your dessert, do your thing!
Next, I poured the whole shebang into a pretty dish (okay, it was just a regular glass bowl, but work with me here). Popped it in the fridge for a few hours, until it was completely set. Patience is key, people!
And that’s it! The result? A creamy, fruity, jiggly delight. Seriously, this stuff is addictive. The cream cheese adds a richness that takes the jello to a whole new level.
Pro-tip: If you’re feeling fancy, you can layer the jello with whipped cream or graham cracker crumbs. Get creative!
I gotta say, this jello dessert with cream cheese is a total winner. It’s easy, it’s delicious, and it’s a crowd-pleaser. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
