Lila’s Blueberry Jell‑O Mold Recipe
Ingredients
Method
1. Strain the blueberries
- Pour the blueberries into a fine‑mesh strainer set over a large liquid measuring cup.
- Let the syrup drain completely.
- Add enough water to the collected syrup to reach 4 cups total liquid.
2. Heat the liquid and dissolve the Jell‑O
- Transfer the liquid to a medium saucepan.
- Heat over medium until it just begins to simmer, then remove from the heat.
- Add both boxes of Jell‑O and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes, until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a medium mixing bowl.
3. Prepare an ice bath and lightly gel the Jell‑O
- Fill a large bowl with several cups of ice and cold water.
- Gently lower the bowl of warm Jell‑O mixture into the ice bath — the water should come halfway up the sides.
- Stir every few minutes as it cools.
- Continue chilling until the mixture becomes slightly thickened and wobbly, but not firm (about 45–55°F).
This stage typically takes about 30 minutes.
4. Add the sour cream and blueberries
- Remove the bowl from the ice bath.
- Add the sour cream and the drained blueberries.
- Stir until the sour cream is fully incorporated. A few white streaks are fine.
5. Fill the mold
- Pour the mixture into a large Jell‑O mold or bundt pan (10½‑cup capacity).
- Tap the mold gently on the counter to release air bubbles and level the mixture.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely firm — at least 8 hours or overnight.
6. Unmold the Jell‑O
- Fill a large bowl halfway with warm (not hot) water.
- Dip the mold into the water for 10 seconds.
- Remove, place a serving plate over the mold, and invert.
- If it doesn’t release, repeat another 10‑second dip and try again.
- Continue until the Jell‑O slides out cleanly onto the plate.
