Its combination of fruity flavors and fluffy texture makes it a go-to dessert for any occasion, especially when you’re looking for something light and refreshing. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
- 1 package orange-pineapple flavored gelatin
- 1 package raspberry Jell-O gelatin
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 bananas, sliced
- 1 can (8 oz) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 egg
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
For the Topping
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
-
Prepare the Gelatin Base:
- Begin by dissolving the orange-pineapple flavored gelatin and the raspberry Jell-O gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir the mixture thoroughly until both gelatins are completely dissolved.
-
Add Marshmallows:
- Once the gelatins are fully dissolved, add the mini marshmallows to the hot mixture. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and incorporated into the gelatin mixture.
-
Incorporate 7-Up:
- Gently fold in the 7-Up into the gelatin mixture. This will give your salad a delightful fizzy texture. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
-
Add Fruit:
- After the gelatin mixture has cooled, fold in the drained crushed pineapple and sliced bananas. Mix gently to ensure the fruit is evenly distributed throughout the gelatin.
-
Chill the Gelatin:
- Pour the gelatin mixture into a dish of your choice and refrigerate. Allow it to set until firm, which usually takes a few hours.
-
Prepare the Topping:
- While the gelatin is setting, prepare the topping. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
-
Cool and Fold in Whipped Topping:
- Remove the thickened mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Apply the Topping:
- Once the gelatin has set and is firm, spread the prepared topping evenly over the surface of the gelatin.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Return the dish to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for an additional hour to let the topping set. Serve chilled and enjoy this refreshing, fruity delight!
This 7-UP Gelatin Salad Delight is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering. Its vibrant colors and refreshing flavors make it a perfect addition to your dessert table, and it’s a fun way to enjoy a classic treat with a twist! 🍍🍌✨
