Fruity Gelatin Layers
Last Saturday afternoon, I wanted to bring my three-year-old son, Colby, to the Worlds of Fun at CSi City Mall so we could have a break from our everyday routine. But it was raining hard because of the typhoon “Isang” so we both just stayed at home and watched Sesame Street video… until we got bored. So I thought of something to cook that Colby might join in and enjoy. And, we made this really easy and also really delicious gelatin. We didn’t have those dessert molds to use but we had fun though since it is our very first gelatin.
1 box of green unflavored gelatin
1 box of yellow unflavored gelatin
2 cups of sugar, divided into 2
pandan extract for green gelatin
lemon essence for yellow gelatin
Dissolve the green gelatin and cook according to its directions. Add pandan extract and 1 cup sugar. Pour in a mold and refrigerate until set (about 10-20 minutes).
Then cook another box, add the lemon essense and sugar. Pour over first layer and chill until set. And serve.
Well, I am now thinking of maybe Colby and I could make a rainbow gelatin next Saturday by using about 5-7 gelatin colors to make it more colorful and exciting. Ah, Rainbow Gelatin, that is!
yummm….I love the color combination — yellow and yellow green… by the way what’s its the flavor? lemon lime?
asteeg!!!
it reminds me of my favorite atari game “pacman” ..hahah..
kidding aside.. ano nga ba flavor nito???
“BUKO PANDAN???”
hhmmm…it’s a refreshing & delightful dessert!my kids will fall for this one.
@ Journaliz, hi! It’s pandan and lemon flavor. You can also try other flavors too like vanilla, strawberry and choco.
@ Marissa, it really is! Not only fun to eat, but fun to make!
@ Wendy, not buco pandan, but I like that too. It’s a combination of pandan flavor and lemon essence. Try it and sure you will love it too.
try it with sliced mangoes or sliced peaches or fruit cocktails, topped it with ice cream.
@ Rudy, thanks for the suggestion. Colby will surely love the ice cream on top!
BTW, mixed the fruit with the dissolved gelatin.
