RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS FOR no-drip jelly popsicles
Step 1
First, let’s make jelly! Jello boxes come in different sizes. So take the amounts of water out of the box.
- Boil a cup of water (or the amount recommended in the Jello instructions)
- Pour the gelatin mixture into a medium-sized bowl.
- Add the boiling water to the bowl and stir with a spoon for 2 minutes until all the gelatin is dissolved.
- Instead of adding cold water at this point, move on to the next step, where you can add fruit juice and fruit instead…
step 2
Once the gelatin has dissolved, add your desired fruit puree and stir to combine.
step 3
Add 1 cup orange juice (or your favorite fruit juice) to the mixture instead of cold water and stir.
step 4
Pour the sundaes into the sundaes and freeze for a few hours until frozen.
