With its sunny lemon color, this gelatin mold brightens up any table. I usually make two molds for parties because it disappears so quickly. —Patricia Ryzow, Thousand Oaks, California

Ingredients

  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 packages (3 ounces each) lemon gelatin
  • 1 can (12 ounces) frozen limeade concentrate, thawed
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • Quartered fresh strawberries and fresh mint

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water; let stand 1 minute. Heat and stir over low heat until gelatin is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
  2. In a large bowl, add boiling water to lemon gelatin; stir 2 minutes to completely dissolve. Stir in unflavored gelatin mixture and limeade concentrate. Refrigerate until slightly thickened.
  3. In a bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Beat gelatin mixture until frothy; fold in whipped cream. Transfer to an 8-cup ring mold coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate, covered, until set.
  4. To serve, unmold onto a large plate. Serve with strawberries and mint.
Health Tip: Fold in 4 cups whipped topping instead of sweetened whipped cream to save 75 calories and 10g fat per serving.
