Hello Jello
Hello, Jell-O!
Hello, Jell-O! 50+ Inventive Recipes for Gelatin Treats and Jiggly Sweets
From ice pops to cupcakes, the most popular desserts of childhood are being transformed into sophisticated sweets and winning the hearts of grown-ups all over again. So what’s next? Hello, Jell-O! —Victoria Belanger’s creatively-inspired reinvention of a childhood classic—will have readers at hello.
Thanks to Victoria (aka the Jello Mold Mistress), home cooks now have more than fifty impressive (and affordable) treats to dazzle dessert-lovers of all ages. Belanger’s Jell-O-inspired, home-crafting craze began as a way to bring interest to dinner parties beyond the typical guest offering of a bottle of wine or a tray of cookies. It then grew into a popular blog (jellomoldmistress.com) that quickly caught the eye of top media outlets like the New York Times and Food & Wine not just for her creative concoctions, but for her artful designs so brightly-colored they seemed fresh out of the Museum of Modern Art.
Hello, Jell-O!’s eye-catching crowd pleasers combine sophisticated and fun flavors like mint and watermelon, coconut and raspberry, and chile and chocolate with a childlike charm that’s irresistible. Now, food-crafters can surprise friends with such striking starters as Pomegrante Berry Salad and other show-stopping favorites from boozy molds (Pear and Lychee Martini; White Sangria; Mojito) to creamy and dreamy (Lemon Poppy Seed; Crème Brûlée; Chai Tea Panna Cotta). Other recipes include nostalgic Root Beer Float Squares, dainty and decadent Chocolate Raspberry Mousse Cups, and adorable Petit Watermelons. But that’s not all. Hello, Jell-O! emphasizes fresh and seasonal items, including holiday recipes, and has a whole chapter devoted to vegan delights made with agar-agar. The cherry on top: gelatin is naturally good for you, providing a boost of collagen and amino acids, so you’re free to indulge without the guilt. Finally, there’s a gourmet and delicious way to bring this childhood favorite into adulthood. Hello, Jell-O! Welcome back!
