Watermelon Gelatin Cups Recipe

Prep: 15 min. + chilling

Yield: 8 Servings

15 15

Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) watermelon gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 cup cold water
4 large limes
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, slice limes in half lengthwise. With a small scissors or sharp knife, cut the membrane at each end to loosen pulp from shell. Using fingertips, pull membrane and pulp away from shell (discard pulp or save for another use).
Fold chocolate chips into gelatin; spoon into lime shells. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely set. Yield: 8 servings.
