Servings: 4

Equipment

  • turkey molds or other desired shapes

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg Jello/ flavored Gelatin (6 oz.)
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1/2 C ice

Instructions

  • Pour gelatin into a medium mixing bowl. Add boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved and not grainy anymore.
  • Add whipping cream and ice to mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is chilled, but before it starts to set up. Remove any leftover ice cubes.
  • Let the gelatin sit in the refriderator for 3 minutes.
  • Pour chilled gelatin into the turkey molds.
  • Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until gelatin seem to be set up.
  • When you are ready to get the gelatin out of the molds, boil a few cups of water. Pour into a clean mixing bowl. Let the boiling water cool down just a little bit.
  • Gently dip the plastic turkey mold into the hot water for just a couple seconds. This will help the gelatin release from the edge and not stick. I only needed to dip the mold into the hot water for about 4 seconds. Time needed to dip the mold in hot water depends on the thickness of the mold and if it is made of plastic, glass, or metal.
  • Carefully remove the gelatin from the mold and place on serving dish.
  • Enjoy.
