A Patriotic party is just what you need to make your holidays special. The food at this patriotic party should also fit the theme as well as be quite tasty.
You can also go down the classic picnic route with your Patriotic party. That means you’ll make up plenty of deviled eggs, potato salad, ham and cheese croissants, and pie for dessert. You can also set up the old grill and put a few sides of beef out to cook. Grilled veggies are a great side dish for these treats. A good old red, white and blue Jell-O mold is just perfect for dessert.
Patriotic Jell-O Mold
For this delicious party dessert you’ll need the following items: 1 (3 oz) pkg. of Strawberry Jell-O, 1 1/3 cups boiling water, 1 (10 oz) pkg Strawberries, 1 (3 oz) pkg. Lemon Jell-O, 1 cup boiling water, 1 pint vanilla ice cream, 1 (3 oz) pkg. blueberry Jell-O, 1 cup boiling water, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cold water, and 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries.
Start with the red layer for your frozen patriotic treat. Mix up the strawberry Jell-O according to instructions on the box and using the 1 1/3 cups boiling water. Add fruit to the still warm mixture. Let cool to a little above room temperature. Pour the mixture into a bundt pan. Place into fridge to let chill until set while you make the other Jell-os.
Begin the white layer of Jell-O by dumping the lemon Jell-O into 1 1/3 cups boiling water. Stir until smooth. Blend in the vanilla ice cream and blend until mixture is smooth. Chill at room temperature until thickened. Slowly spoon or pour the white layer of the patriotic Jell-O mold over the red layer in the bundt pan. Chill in fridge as before.
The last layer of the patriotic Jell-O mold begins by mixing the blueberry Jell-O mix with sugar in one cup boiling water. Add cold water. Let sit at room temperature until thickened. Stir in blueberries. Spoon the cooled mixture over top the white layer of Jell-O in the bundt pan. Let the patriotic mold chill overnight. Remove from mold and serve at your party.
This Red, White and Blue Jell-O Mold is a delight to see at any Patriotic party or even an Independence Day party. You’ll be giggling when you see it a wriggling and a jiggling on the buffet table. By just adding even one simple food item to the menu will help create
a complete Patriotic theme party feeling. |
