Independence Day Red White & Blue Jell-O Cups

June 12, 2015 By: Briana Carter6 Comments

Red White & Blue Jell-O Cups

Fourth of July is right around the corner. Do you know what you’re making? Why not try some patriotic desserts that both children and adults are sure to love–Red, White & Blue Jell-O Cups?

I’ve tried several layered jello recipes before, and they are always fun, but making layered jello recipes for holidays is always an extra special treat. I love the way these patriotic desserts always make the table look so fun and festive whenever we have family get-togethers! Whether or not other people have made themed desserts or decorated for the holiday very much, these jell-O Cups really pull the table together.

These Red, White & Blue Jell-O Cups are pretty easy to make, too–just make sure that you set aside plenty of time for the actual assembly process. You have to create each layer individually with time to set in between, and while that doesn’t require a lot of hands-on work, it can be time consuming.

Whether you are making a few jello cups for your family or you’re making tons of them for a large gathering, this recipe is very easy to scale, and you can even make them in advance. Jello tends to keep very well in the fridge, so you don’t have to feel like you are rushing to get everything thrown together at the last minute.

If you are looking for fun patriotic desserts perfect for the fourth of July, these Red, White & Blue Jell-O Cups are sure to please! Try them this year for a childlike fun that’s hard to beat!
