    Red White and Blue JELL-O Cups Recipe

    Published: May 14, 2019 · Modified: Jun 5, 2023 by Jennifer · This post may contain affiliate links · 3 Comments

    This Red White and Blue JELL-O Cups Recipe is just so cute, isn't it? It is perfect for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Veteran's Day - any patriotic celebration that you can think of, this Americana-themed dessert is sure to be a hit with your guests!

    I love mini desserts because they look really cute set up on a dessert table, and something like this Red White and Blue Jello Cups Recipe  is even better because there's no washing dishes or needing extra dessert plates when serving them!

    The guests can simply throw away the little disposable dessert cups and mini spoons once they enjoy their little patriotic treat!

    I got the mini dessert cups on Amazon, which you can order through this link. They are just 3 ounces, so they are really the perfect individual serving size treat for backyard barbecues and celebrations!

    Now, while these Red, White and Blue JELL-O cups are easy to make, they are a bit time consuming. Just a fair warning! As with all JELL-O recipes - heck, even when making regular JELL-O itself - you have to take into account the time it takes the JELL-O itself to set.

    If you can make them the day before an event, that's probably the best way to go about it so that they are ready and totally firm for your party!

    Simply top with topping and serve before your guests arrive. I serve these with teeny dessert spoons that you can buy on Amazon or at most Dollar Tree stores.

      Are you using only half of the water that is used in the box instructions? The box requires 2c boiling water and 2c cold water. Your recipe only requires 1c boiling water and 1c cold water or am I missing something?

      To make MY recipe, you would need to follow my instructions. It sounds like you are using a very large box, I am curious as to what you did. I just saw your comment today.
