With some
creative use of fruit juice, a generous addition of sweets and some
heart-shaped sprinkles, you (and your kids) make a Valentine’s dessert that’s
perfect for a party or any other time.
I got the
idea for this recipe when I bought a way-too-big box of berry flavored
sparkling water. I wanted to use it in something… I just wasn’t sure what. When
I paired it with white cran-strawberry juice, the idea for turning it into a
gelatin dessert jumped into my mind (I have no idea why, maybe it was fond
early childhood memories). This holiday recipe is super-simple, meaning you don’t
have to be Top Chef-worthy to quickly whip it up. It’s also a great way to
involve the kiddos in cooking. Let them do the measuring and mixing as you talk
about how the gelatin gels and why.
Here’s What
You’ll Need:
·
4
packets of unflavored gelatin (with each packet measuring 2 ½ teaspoons)
·
1
cup of berry flavored sparkling water or seltzer
·
2
cups of a pink or red (for the Valentine’s Day theme) juice
·
8
oz. dark chocolate (honestly, I used chocolate candy kisses that I got on
Christmas clearance – for $1 a bag!)
·
Heart-shaped
or red, pink and white sprinkles
Here’s What
to Do:
1. Bring the
juice to a boil on the stove.
2. Stir in
the gelatin.
3. Add one cup
of the berry water, and stir. The gelatin should be completely dissolved by
now.
4. Pour the
mix into a cake pan (or something similarly sized) and refrigerate until set
(this may take several hours). The gelatin will be the consistency of gummy
candy when it’s ready.
5. Melt the
chocolate. I did this in the microwave (keep in mind, microwaves vary in
intensity – so you may need to adjust the time). Put the chocolate in a
microwave-safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds. Stir. If it’s not melted all of
the way, heat for increments of 15 seconds until it is.
6. Cut the gelatin
into blocks.
7. Drizzle
the heated chocolate over top to get a choco-topped berry flavor. Be careful,
it will be very hot.
8. Sprinkle
the hearts on top.
