Polly’s Pink Stuff (Raspberry Jello Mold)
Description
This jello mold integrates raspberry gelatin with crushed pineapple and its juice, combined through boiling to dissolve the gelatin fully. After cooling, buttermilk is added to introduce a smooth tangy element, and folded in Cool Whip lightens the texture.
The blend of fruit, creamy buttermilk, and fluffy whipped topping produces a dessert with a creamy, slightly tangy, and sweet profile. Setting the mixture in a decorated mold or a 9x13 pan gives it a firm shape suitable for slicing and serving chilled.
Polly’s Pink Stuff suits potlucks, dinners, or social events where molded gelatin desserts are appreciated. Chilling until fully set ensures the proper texture before serving.
The recipe allows flexibility in presentation; using a pan instead of a mold makes cutting into squares easier. Leftovers should be stored covered in the refrigerator and consumed within several days.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces pineapple canned, crushed
- 6 ounces raspberry gelatin
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
Instructions
Prepare the Mold:
- If you're planning to unmold the jello onto a serving plate, select a mold and thoroughly coat the inside with cooking spray. Wipe out any excess with a paper towel.
Prepare the Jello Mixture:
- Place the crushed pineapple with its juice in a medium saucepan.
- Add the jello and stir together.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Remove pan from the heat and set it aside to cool.
- When the pineapple and jello mixture has cooled to room temperature, add the buttermilk and stir together until well combined.
- Fold in the Cool Whip.
- Pour into prepared decorative mold or a 9x13 baking dish and refrigerate until set.
Notes
- Non-mold option: Pour mixture into a 9x13 pan to cut into squares for easier serving.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or airtight container for 4 to 5 days.
