Jello Jigglers
makes a bunch
about 3 1/2 hours
2 1/2 cups boiling water or juice
2 large "family size" packages of Jell-o, or 4 packages of the 4 serving size, any flavour or combination of flavours
(I like strawberry/raspberry)
(I like strawberry/raspberry)
Pour the boiling water into a large bowl. Add the Jell-o to the water. Stir. Stir more. Stir some more – in my great Jello Jiggler experience, I've found that you *really* need to stir the Jell-o to avoid getting those crunchy bits in the bottom. That's also why I try to add the Jell-o to the water, instead of the other way around, as this seems to help get it all disolved. Give it another stir, don't be shy.
Pour into a 9×13 pan, lightly oiled. I like to mist with a cooking spray, then barely wipe it off with a paper towel. Chill for about 3 hours, or until firm, and the Jell-o does not stick to your finger. Longer chill time is better, in my opinion.
Now, for adult Jello – 2 cups boiling juice or water, 3 oz of alcohol of choice. My favourite combinations are: peach schnapps and orange jello; lime and tequila; rum and strawberry; vodka and raspberry; Hpnotiq and blue raspberry. Yum. See the comments – apparently we can add up to 19oz of alcohol, and still get a good jelling factor!
I Love Jello!
The guys at myscienceproject dot com found that you can acutally add up to 19 oz of vodka and still have a firm jello shot (24 if sugar free) lol….pretty much the equivalent of a straight shot of alcohol…quite interesting!
Craig – that is some incredibly useful information! I’ll have to try it, some in each flavour combo of course (gin and orange, anyone?).
Thanks!

How about these: Grape Jello with Pomegranate Schnapps, Strawberry Jello with Banana Rum, Grape Jello with Sloe Gin
Those sound like awesome combinations! And we’re right into Jello Jiggler season too.
Pomegranate Schnapps? I’ll have to go see if I can find some of that.
I love this picture, exactly what I was looking for : a Jell’O red heart. Thank you !
