Best Strawberry Jello Balls Recipes

JELLO PARFAIT (STRAWBERRY)

Steps:

• Prepare a regular sized muffin tin: use 9 small balls, or wad up balls of foil (or paper) and place in the muffin tin. Place 9 clear plastic cups on top of the balls at an angle (see video at top of this page!) The small balls help to keep the cup at an angle.
• Next prepare the strawberry jell-o (both packets) according to package directions (not for quick set, but for regular set). Fill up the cups evenly with the strawberry jell-o (be careful as you pour and ensure the cups stay at an angle).
• Hull and slice the strawberries and then place a few slices of strawberries into each jell-o cup. Carefully transfer the muffin tin into the fridge and allow the strawberry jell-o to completely set up.
• When the jell-o layer is nearly set up, you can begin on the mousse.
• Place 1 and 1/2 cups Sprite in a microwave safe bowl or cup and microwave just until the mixture comes to a boil. Whisk the packet of strawberry jell-o into the Sprite.
• Transfer the mixture to a high powdered blender and add in the cream cheese. Blend until completely smooth. And in remaining 1 cup of (COLD) Sprite and blend again until smooth.
• Add in the completely thawed Cool Whip and blend just until smooth. (You can leave out about 1/2 cup for optional garnish at the end if desired).
• Pour this mixture evenly over the jell-o layers (you shouldn't use as much of this mousse as you did of the jell-o or it tends to be overpowering).
• Place in the fridge and allow to set completely.
• If desired, garnish with fresh whipped cream (or 1/2 cup extra cool whip) and garnish with fresh mint and a small strawberry.

STRAWBERRY COCONUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Place all but 1/2 cup coconut in a large mixing bowl. Place the 1/3 cup coconut in a smaller bowl.
• In the larger bowl, add the strawberry Jell-O powder, and all but about a tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk. Add the tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk to the smaller bowl.
• Mix the strawberry mixture. Add a couple of drops of green food coloring to the smaller bowl and mix.
• Take a scant tablespoon of the strawberry mixture and shape into strawberry shapes.
• Take a tiny amount of the green coconut and press onto the end of each strawberry.
• Store covered in the refrigerator.

MOM'S CHRISTMAS JELLO BALLS

Steps:

• Add the thick cream to a mixing bowl, along with the Jello powder. Stir well to combine.
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the desiccated coconut to the mixture and stir to combine.
• Roll the mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls. Roll the balls into the remaining coconut to coat.
• Place balls onto baking sheet and refrigerate for 2 hours.

FRESH HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY JELLO

Steps:

• In a saucepan cook the strawberries and 1 cup sugar over medium-low heat. If you are using fresh strawberries you may need to add 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the fruit is softened. Frozen and VERY ripe fruit will cook faster.
• Use a regular or immersion hand blender to puree the fruit. Strain the seeds and return to the pot. Using a chinoise strainer will make the job go much faster.
• In a small bowl, pour the 3 packets of gelatin over 1/2 cup of water, making sure no dry powder remains. Let the gelatin sit until it "blooms" and absorbs all the water.
• Heat the strained puree to a simmer, turn off the heat and add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is melted and evenly distributed in the puree.
• Choose a mold that fits at least 5 cups. I used a silicone mold, such as the Lekue Imperial Monarch Mold.
• Fill the mold with 3/4 of the puree. Set the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until a skin is formed on the top.
• Pour half the remaining puree into a bowl. Whip the heavy cream with 2 tablespoons sugar and add it to the puree in the bowl.
• Gently fold the cream into the puree.
• Add the cream/puree mixture to the mold, refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until it has set slightly. Add the remaining strawberry puree to the top. Set in the refrigerator for about 3 hours or until well set.
• To un-mold the jello: fill a large vessel with hot water.
• Dip the jello into the hot water, being careful not to get water over the lip of the mold. You may need to use a knife to carefully separate the edge of the mold from the jello. Let the mold sit in the water for 15 to 30 seconds. Set the jello on a platter.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Use a thin bladed knife dipped in hot water to cut the jello.

STRAWBERRY JELLO BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients together except 1/2 package of jello and leave a little coconut to roll cookies in. Refrigerate mixture for 2 hours. Form jello mixture into small balls or desired size. Roll balls in remaining package of jello and then roll in coconut.

EASY STRAWBERRY JELLO SALAD WITH COOL WHIP

Steps:

• Boil one cup water on stove top, and mix into bowl with jello powder in mixing bowl. Add in one cup cold water and stir. Chill jello, preferably in a shallow pan, for about 45 minutes or until it is completely cool, just starting to set. Pour the jello into a large mixing bowl. Mix the jello up vigorously, for about one minute. Using an electric mixer is great for this step. But watch out it splashes. This breaks up any jello bits that have started to set, and adds air to the mix. Then fold in the Cool Whip and then strawberries. Mix completely, but be gentle and don't deflate the mix by stirring too aggressively. If you want to add in mini marshmallows, do it now. Add them in about 1/2 cup at a time to make sure you don't overdo it. Transfer to a 9×13 pan for serving, or into individual dishes if you prefer. You can top with whipped cream and sliced strawberries if you prefer. If you want to dress up this dish, spread a spoonful of strawberry jam in the bottom of a glass dessert dish or shallow glass. Then add the salad mix. After the dish has chilled, dollop with some fresh whipped cream and a slice of strawberry.

STRAWBERRY CARP BAIT

Steps:

• Make a dry mixture of flour and corn meal.
• Bring water to a simmer and then add vanilla, sugar and strawberry gelatin, while stirring.
• Keep stirring and sprinkle on enough dry mixture to cover the surface of the liquid.
• Once the hot water breaks through the dry ingredients, cover the break with the dry mixture.
• Continue in this manner until dry mix is gone and then continue stirring for two minutes.
• Cool and remove from the pan; roll into a ball, wrap tightly and then store in the refrigerator.
• TO USE: Roll up a ball the size of a large english pea onto a #6, #4 or #2 fishing hook; when fishing line moves, wait until line tightens before setting the hook.
