Dr Pepper Jello Salad
Description
This Dr Pepper Jello Salad begins by dissolving strawberry-flavored gelatin in boiling water, then blending in Dr Pepper soda, which adds a unique cola flavor and fizz. The mixture is cooled and then combined with maraschino cherries (including their juices), crushed pineapple with juice, and chopped pecans for texture and added sweetness.
The blend is poured into a greased bundt or desired mold and refrigerated for several hours until fully set. The final dish has a vibrant appearance, balancing sweet, tangy, and nutty elements with a lightly spongy gelatin texture.
Before unmolding, gently loosening the edges with fingers helps maintain the shape. This salad suits festive occasions and potlucks, offering a nostalgic, visually appealing dessert that can be sliced and served cold.
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 6 ounces strawberry gelatin dessert 2 x 3oz boxes) or (1 x 6oz box, Jell-O brand
- 1 ¼ cup Dr Pepper
- 10 ounces maraschino cherries with juices, 1 jar, sliced
- 8 ounces pineapple with juices, 1 can, crushed
- 1 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil.
- Add jello to a large bowl and pour boiling water over it, stir until jello mixture dissolves and add in the Dr Pepper. The mixture will fizz up, so make sure to use a large bowl and do it over the sink just in case. Place in the fridge to cool for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grease a nonstick bundt pan with cooking spray.
- Once the 30 minutes have passed, add the remaining ingredients to the jello mixture and then pour into the prepared pan. Let chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
- If making in a bundt pan or another pan where the jello salad will need to be flipped out, gently pull the jello away from the side of the pan with your fingers to help loosen it before flipping.
