Categories     dessert

Time 4h35m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
8 ounces sour cream
Two 3-ounce packages lime gelatin
Nonstick cooking spray, for the bundt pan
1/2 cup drained crushed pineapple
1/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved
Two 3-ounce packages strawberry gelatin

Steps:

  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cream cheese and mix on low until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sour cream and mix until smooth.
  • Put the lime gelatin in a medium heatsafe bowl, pour in 1 cup boiling water and gently stir until completely dissolved. Add the gelatin mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir until combined. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a mixing bowl to remove any lumps.
  • Spray a 10-cup fluted bundt pan with cooking spray. Pour the lime gelatin mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spoon to push the pineapple and cherries into the mixture and distribute them throughout. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  • After about 1 1/2 hours, put 2 cups cold water in a medium heatsafe bowl. Add the strawberry gelatin and let bloom for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups boiling water and stir until completely dissolved. Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Dampen a baking sheet with a little water and set aside. Fill a bowl larger than the bundt pan with warm water (make sure it's not too hot). Dip the bundt pan into the water in 5-second intervals (don't hold it in there too long) to loosen the lime gelatin from the pan. This may need to be repeated a few times until you see it start to loosen from the sides and center. Once loosened, place the baking sheet on top of the bundt pan and flip to invert the lime gelatin onto the baking sheet. Lift the bundt pan off the gelatin and rotate it slightly, then place it back over the gelatin so the fluted ridges of the bundt pan and the molded gelatin do NOT line up (the strawberry gelatin layer will fill the spaces).
  • Flip the bundt pan and baking sheet back right-side up so the lime gelatin is back in the pan but slightly off center. Pour in the cooled strawberry gelatin mixture; the lime gelatin should float in the strawberry liquid. Using your fingers, realign the lime gelatin with the proper grooves of the pan. Refrigerate until set, about 2 hours.
  • Dip the bundt pan into a bowl of warm water (following the method above), being careful not to hold it in there too long. Place a serving dish on top of the bundt pan and flip to invert the gelatin ring onto the dish.

This is a must-have with a Thanksgiving turkey or a roasted chicken....besides tasting out-of-this-world, it looks as good as it tastes....the cream cheese in the middle, is a nice change from the regular fruit mold.

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (6 ounce) package raspberry gelatin powder
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed and drained
2 (8 ounce) cans crushed pineapple, undrained
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream

  • Store in fridge.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your gelatin ring will taste. This is especially important for the fruit and vegetables.
  • Chill your ingredients: Before you start assembling your gelatin ring, make sure all of your ingredients are chilled. This will help the gelatin set more quickly and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Use a good quality gelatin: Not all gelatins are created equal. Make sure you use a high-quality gelatin that is specifically designed for making gelatin rings.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Gelatin rings can be tricky to make, so it's important to follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or you may end up with a gelatin ring that doesn't set properly.
  • Be patient: Gelatin rings take time to set. Don't try to rush the process or you may end up with a gelatin ring that is too soft or runny.

Conclusion:

Gelatin rings are a beautiful and delicious dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for any occasion, from a simple family dinner to a fancy holiday party. With a little care and attention, you can make a gelatin ring that will impress your guests and leave them wanting more.
