Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) of strawberry gelatin
- 1 cup of boiling water
- 1 cup of cold water
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, diced
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Dissolve the Gelatin
In a medium-sized bowl, empty the contents of the strawberry gelatin package. Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Step 2: Add Cold Water
Once the gelatin is dissolved, pour in the cold water and mix well. This will help the gelatin to set properly.
Step 3: Chill in the Refrigerator
Place the bowl with the gelatin mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for about 1 hour, or until it starts to thicken but is not fully set.
Step 4: Add the Diced Strawberries
Once the gelatin has thickened, gently fold in the diced strawberries. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Set in the Refrigerator
Pour the strawberry gelatin mixture into a mold or individual serving dishes. Return them to the refrigerator and let them set for at least 3 hours, or until fully firm.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Once the strawberry jelly has set, you can garnish it with a dollop of whipped cream and additional diced strawberries, if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy!
