Ingredients

  • 8 oz raspberries
  • 1 lb strawberries
  • 1 Mango
  • 1 orange optional
  • 1 lb green grapes
  • 1 lb purple grapes
  • 14 oz D'Gari Gelatin Dessert prepared liquid in any fruit flavor

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the fruit for the cake. Clean and cut them into equal pieces, leave the raspberries whole.
  2. Place the raspberries into the prepared dish, followed by strawberries.
  3. Add mango, oranges, and green grapes.
  4. Finish off by laying out the purple grapes. Dissolve the jello in hot water, following the instructions on the box. You will need 14 oz of prepared, liquid jello (not 14 oz of powder). Let the jello mixture cool completely. Note: I only recommend the D'Gari Gelatin Dessert brand for this recipe. Using other brands of flavored jello may not set well.
  5. Slowly pour the cooled mixture over the fruits. Shake the tray a little, so the liquid goes through all the sides. Cover the fruit completely with the jello liquid.
  6. Refrigerate the cake until the jello is completely set, about 2 hours. In order to remove it from the tray, pour hot water into a separate large bowl, and place the jello cake mold into it. As soon as you see a little bit of melting on the sides, cover the jello with a serving plate and turn it over. If necessary, wipe off the sides around the jello.
  7. Return the cake to the refrigerator to keep it cold, until ready to serve. I would only remove the cake from the tray a few hours before serving.

Notes

  • Note: -You will need 14 oz of prepared liquid, not 14 oz of powder. All packages come in different sizes, so it’s hard to say how many packs you need to yield 14oz of jello liquid. Follow the instructions on the packaging and use the prepared liquid.
  • -I only recommend the D'Gari Gelatin Dessert brand for this recipe, in the strawberry, mango or pineapple flavors. I found that a combination of mango  & pineapple is amazing together. Using other brands of flavored jello has not been tested by me and may not set well.
