Lime Simply Delicious

Lime Simply Delicious

Oh, it's been a bit warm outside!  O.K., it is July & totally expected!  Definitely the time of year to remember to drink more water than usual.  A beverage that's lemon or lime flavored also tastes so refreshing.  After drinking yet another glass of water yesterday, I remembered the package of Lime flavored gelatin in the pantry.  A half gallon of Vanilla ice cream was waiting in the freezer.  No, not to devour all at once- I only needed 1 Cup of the cold refreshing treat to whip up a batch of Lime Simply Delicious.  Literally whipping it with a whisk.

This easy to make dessert is definitely a family fave.

There are only 3 ingredients:

1 small pkg. of Lime flavored gelatin (3 ounces)
1 Cup boiling water
1 Cup Vanilla ice cream


Method:

1.   Place 1 small pkg. Lime gelatin in mixing bowl.
2.   Add 1 Cup boiling water. 
3.   Whisk (or stir rapidly) to completely dissolve gelatin.
4.   Add 1 Cup Vanilla ice cream.
5.   Rapidly whisk (or stir) to dissolve ice cream.
6.   Pour into 2 dishes.  (I use 2 coffee mugs.)
7.   Refrigerate several hours.
8.   Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Where are our spoons?

For our Family Get-Together in the summer, this is a yummy, quick & easy to prep dessert to include on the dessert table.  Orange flavored, Strawberry flavored & Lime flavored is enjoyed by all ages.  Pouring the liquid into plastic stackable containers works great.  Then, stacking & storing these desserts in the fridge is no problem.

Strawberry gelatin combined with Strawberry ice cream is oh so tasty!

It's quick & easy!  What flavor will you make?

Enjoy!
Yummy!

           

Lemony Simply Delicious

Looking out my kitchen window I kept admiring these bright yellow flowers that suddenly sprung upward and blossomed.  The mere fact that they were yellow prompted me to quickly locate the Lemon flavored package of Jello Gelatin that I had purchased two days earlier.  This has to be my fave "quick make" dessert!  Simply Delicious!  It really is simple to make and is delicious.  Two servings of this tasty light creamy dessert does not need a lot of preparation.  And ... it's very easy to double the recipe, even triple if needed.  :) 

The men in my fam have always enjoyed Jello, so I've made this treat for years, doubling the recipe.  There are only 3 ingredients!  Sweet!

Enjoy!
