  • Use a variety of fruits to create a colorful and flavorful dessert. Some good combinations include strawberries and blueberries, peaches and raspberries, or pineapple and mango.
  • Adjust the amount of sugar to taste. If you like your desserts sweeter, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of sugar.
  • Chill the gelatin dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the gelatin to set properly and develop its full flavor.
