Every time I make Jello, I wonder why I don’t make it more often. I always associated Jello with kids, but the truth is that the minute I take one bite, I can’t stop myself from scoffing down the whole thing. AND I also noticed at the grocery store that there is LITE Jello! How did I not know this?? It’s practically zero calorie! I would have loved to make these guilt-free treats but I couldn’t find blue LITE Jello. Bugger!
I love the spirit of America for 4th of July! I live in Australia and we don’t have any public holiday that inspires quite as much patriotism as 4th of July does. My friends in the States are always bugging me to go over to see the celebrations and every year, I just miss it. One day, I want to experience a real 4th of July IN the States!! My readers always ask me for easy 4th of July dessert ideas around this time each year and I always forget. So I’m super excited to have had this opportunity to create something for Spend With Pennies.
The beauty of these Jello desserts are that you can make them kid friendly OR you can add a fun twist by turning them into vodka Jellos! It’s super easy – just switch out 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of vodka. Or gin. Whatever takes your fancy. :-) I only add vodka to the red and blue layers because the middle layer is made with condensed milk and I wasn’t sure about adding vodka to that. I’d love to know if you try though! Or perhaps another type of liquor? :-) HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!
