Want to bring the most epic jello to your next Super Bowl Party? This 3D football jello is a show stopper that your family and friends will rave about.
To start, I made one recipe of clear gelatin base and poured it into a deep 9×13 glass pan. Find the recipe here. I flavored the gelatin with coconut flavoring, it was so good!
After the gelatin is set, I made 1/6th of the recipe for the colored base to make the white laces and the stripes in the field. Find the recipe here.
After I made the laces, I made another recipe of the clear gelatin base , let it cool for a few minutes then poured it on top.
To make the football, I made a chocolate color base. It’s so yummy! Tastes just like chocolate!
Chocolate Color Base
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp gelatin powder
- 3 Tbsp cold water
- 1 Cup whipping cream
- 4 Tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/2 Cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Bloom the gelatin by mixing the gelatin and cold water together in a small bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar, cocoa, vanilla, and 1/2 cup whipping cream to a sauce pan. Heat while stirring constantly until just about boiling. Don't let it come to a full boil.
- Add bloomed gelatin to sauce pan and stir until completely dissolved. Add the remaining 1/2 cup whipping cream.
- Strain the mixture to remove any clumps.
- Let it cool slightly before using.
To make the green grass, I used a regular Lime Jell-O package and made it with the speed set instructions. However, I don’t think I would use the speed set again because the gelatin was setting up too quickly. By the time I made all the grass in the clear gelatin, the Jell-O was pretty set up and clumpy so I had to make another batch of it to. have a nice smooth bottom.
Getting the jello out of the pan proved to be a crazy mess. We almost lost it a few times. Thankfully, I was able to get it all out, although not quite as nicely as I would have liked.
I cleaned out the sink and filled it with hot, boiling water. Then dipped the pan in the water for a while until the edges of the jello seamed to be pulling away from the pan.
Unfortunately, the top layer come out but not the bottom layer. Yikes! So I had to put the pan back in the hot water until the bottom layer started to come out too.
Next time, I’ll make sure both layers are ready to come out of the pan.
What’s your favorite dish to bring to your Super Bowl Party?
I’d love to hear from you and see your jello creations.
Thanks! – Danica
