This easy no-bake dessert combines the lightness of whipped cream with the sweet and tart flavor of cherry Jell-O, making it perfect for summer gatherings or any festive occasion.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 package (3 oz) cherry-flavored Jell-O
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini marshmallows
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup chopped cherries (fresh or canned)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the cherry-flavored Jell-O in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well until completely dissolved.
Add 1 cup of cold water to the Jell-O mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the mixture begins to thicken.
While the Jell-O is chilling, prepare the whipped cream. In a large mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
Once the Jell-O mixture has thickened, gently fold the whipped cream into the Jell-O using a spatula.
Add in the mini marshmallows, crushed pineapple, and chopped cherries. Gently fold these additions into the mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual cups for presentation. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly.
Once set, serve chilled. Enjoy the fluffy, creamy texture and the burst of cherry flavor.
