Ingredients

Jell-O Layer

  • 2 (3-ounce) packages strawberry gelatin
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 2 cups cold water

Strawberry Mousse Layer

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • Sweetened whipped cream
  • Additional strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  • For the Jell-O layer, line up 8 individual cups. (To chill glasses at an angle, you can use a cupcake pan and set a large marshmallow under each cup to ensure they don’t tip back over while they cool.)
  • In a large bowl, dissolve 2 packages of strawberry Jell-O in boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Then stir in cold water.

  • Divide Jello liquid evenly between glasses and chill until Jell-O is set, about 4 hours.
  • For the strawberry mousse layer, wash and hull strawberries. Add strawberries and sugar to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth.
