Watermelon “Jello” Mold

This jello mold captures the essence of summer with its vibrant colors and fruity flavor. It’s easy to make and will bring a smile to everyone’s face. Here’s how to create your own watermelon jello mold.

Ingredients

• 1 large seedless watermelon
• 3 cups of your favorite fruit juice (like watermelon juice, pineapple juice, or lemonade)
• 4 packets of unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup of sugar (adjust according to taste)
• Fresh fruit for garnish (such as berries or mint leaves)

Instructions

1. Begin by cutting the watermelon in half. Carefully scoop out the flesh, ensuring to keep the rind intact to use as your mold. Set the watermelon flesh aside in a bowl for later use.
2. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup of the fruit juice over medium heat. Stir in the sugar until it’s completely dissolved.
3. Once the sugar has dissolved, sprinkle the gelatin over the warm juice and stir well until fully dissolved. If needed, you can let it simmer for a minute, but do not let it boil.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and combine the remaining 2 cups of cold fruit juice.
5. Pour the gelatin mixture into the hollowed-out watermelon halves. Place the two halves together and secure them with plastic wrap, or you can place them in a bowl to keep them upright.
6. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the jello is completely set.
7. Once set, carefully cut the watermelon into slices to reveal your beautiful jello mold. You can embellish each slice with fresh fruit or mint leaves for a pop of color.

This watermelon jello mold is not just a dessert; it’s a centerpiece that will impress your guests and delight your taste buds. The combination of sweet jello and the natural juiciness of the watermelon makes for a perfect summer treat. Enjoy every refreshing bite!
