Ingredients
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 small (4-serving) box jello gelatin mix (any flavor)
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup ice cubes topped with water
Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla; Greek yogurt recommended for extra creaminess)
- 1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder (optional, for decorating the bunnies)
- Vegetable oil or cooking spray
For Greasing
Instructions
- Combine Gelatin Powders: In a heat-resistant bowl, mix together the dry jello gelatin mix and the unflavored gelatin powder to combine thoroughly.
- Dissolve in Boiling Water: Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the gelatin powders and stir continuously for 2 minutes until completely dissolved, ensuring there are no granules left.
- Cool Gelatin Mixture: Add 1/2 cup of ice cubes topped with water to the bowl and stir until the ice cubes fully melt, cooling the mixture down to a suitable temperature.
- Add Yogurt: Whisk in 1/2 cup of yogurt until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined, creating a creamy gelatin base.
- Prepare the Mold: Grease the bunny-shaped mold thoroughly with vegetable oil or cooking spray, paying special attention to cover all areas including the delicate holes for the bunny ears to ensure easy unmolding.
- Fill and Chill: Place the mold on a tray or dish to stabilize it, then gently pour the creamy gelatin mixture into each bunny cavity. Refrigerate for at least one hour or until firm before attempting to unmold.
- Optional Decoration: For a whimsical finishing touch, dip your fingertip in cocoa powder and gently dab it onto the bunny ears and buttocks to add a subtle decorative accent.
Notes
- Use Greek yogurt for a richer, creamier texture.
- If you want a firmer jiggle, use less yogurt and more gelatin.
- Be sure to grease mold thoroughly to remove jello easily without breaking.
- These jigglers are best consumed within 2-3 days for freshness.
- Try different flavors of jello for a colorful variety.
