Jello Mousse Cups

Jello Mousse Cups

We are excited to announce that we finally have a sweets recipe on our blog! It's the perfect dessert for any occasion. Bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays- you name it! I got this recipe from my mom-in-law.  It's very simple to make and now that summer is here, what can be better than a jello dessert?! (No baking near a hot stove involved!) You can definitely make this recipe ahead of time and you should not limit yourself to the flavor of the jello.  We used strawberry but there are plenty of other flavors you can choose from. We hope you try this recipe out! 

Ingredients

2 tubs of 8 oz Kraft Cool Whip

5 tablespoons of Daisy Sour Cream

1 can of sweetened condensed milk

2 packs of 3 oz gelatin/Jell-O 
(we used two different ones because that's what we had on hand)

Start off by preparing the gelatin. Empty out one pack of the gelatin in a mixing bowl.  Add 1 cup of hot water. Mix just until the gelatin dissolves in the water and let it cool to room temperature while you prepare everything else.
                             

In a separate bowl, empty out both tubs of the cool whip, the sweetened condensed milk and five tablespoons of sour cream. 

Mix the three ingredients mentioned above with the cooled gelatin well so that there are no clumps and everything is fully incorporated.
We used the KitchenAid hand mixer for this part - makes things quick and easy!

This is for the top layer of our jello cups. Here you repeat step one of the recipe but this time after adding in the cup of boiling water you also add in 1/2 cup of cold water and let it cool to room temperature. When the jello for the top layer has cooled down you can add it on top of the bottom layer.  We put in more mousse than jello but you can make your own proportions.  If you want more jello on the top layer then just get a bigger pack of jello and add more water according to package.

And here is your finished product! :)
 You can serve this dessert a number of ways. We used tiny jello cups along with mini spoons but for bigger servings you can go with a wine glass or martini glass.
