Chill Partially: Transfer the prepared Jell-O into a large bowl and chill it in the refrigerator until it starts to set but is still slightly wobbly, about 2 hours. This partial setting will allow the berries to suspend in the gelatin rather than sinking to the bottom.
-
Add Berries: Once the Jell-O has reached a partially set state, gently fold in the fresh strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Stir carefully to distribute the fruit evenly throughout the gelatin mixture.
-
Pour and Serve: Pour the berry-infused Jell-O mixture into 6 tall, clear drink or soda glasses. The clear glasses will showcase the vibrant colors and make the prank even more effective.
-
Insert Straws: Place a straw into each glass. Make sure the straws are securely positioned so that they appear to be ready for sipping.
-
Final Chill: Return the glasses to the refrigerator and allow the Jell-O to set completely, about 2 more hours. This final chilling will ensure the dessert holds its shape and resembles a real drink.
Notes
- Prank Tip: When serving, watch the fun unfold as your family takes a sip and discovers the jiggly surprise inside!
