It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without a romantic dessert that’s perfect for kids and grownups alike!
Spread the love with these adorable Valentine’s Day Jello cups that are super easy to make. You only need 5 ingredients – Jello, cool whip, whipped cream, and some berries and sprinkles for decoration.
A beautiful layered effect is created by pouring a different flavored Jello and allowing it to fully gel in the refrigerator in between layers. Start with the darkest flavor/color as the base and continue up. Decorate this Valentine’s Day treat with some raspberries, sprinkles, whipped cream, or the topping of your liking. Plus, you can easily adapt this recipe for different occasions. Just swap the red Jello for green for St. Patrick’s Day, or go for blue and red for 4th of July.
These Jello cups are the perfect addition to any Valentine’s Day party, whether you’re celebrating it solo or with that special someone in your life.
Each 3 oz. package of jello makes four (4) ½ cup servings.
