Strawberry Jello Salad Mold recipe

It is no lie, Jello is easy to make and delicious! Kids love it and it seems to be a staple at every family party (especially holiday parties!) I attend. I say, elevate that and make it fancy!!

Not only does the Jello now look gorgeous, it has a fun contrast of colors and flavors. This Jello Salad Mold is totally adaptable too, it works with any flavor of Jello. I have visions of a pretty Christmas themed Jello Mold.. Red and green!

The ingredients are extremely simple: water, Jello, sweetened condensed milk and fresh fruit (oh, and some ice water)! Notice how the fresh fruit didn’t all sink to the bottom of the Jello? I have a trick for that! 😉

This Jello mold is made in a 12 cup bundt pan.

How to make a Strawberry Jello Salad Mold

Like I said above, all that it takes to make this Jello Salad Mold is Jello, water, sweetened condensed milk and fresh fruit. You’ll also need a nice big bowl of ice water, I’ll get to that in a minute though.

Prepare your 12 cup bundt pan by lightly spraying it with non-stick spray, set aside. The non-stick spray on the pan will help release the Jello from the mold when it is time.

Dissolve 2 packages of Jello into 4 cups boiling water in a large glass bowl. Once the Jello powder has dissolved, stir in 2 cups of cold water.

If you aren’t a fan of fresh fruit in your Jello, skip this step and pour that Jello right into the Bundt Pan.

To add fresh strawberries to the jello, follow these directions.

In order to keep the strawberries from sinking to the bottom the Jello needs to be thick before we add the strawberries. To achieve this, set the bowl of Jello into a larger bowl full of lots of ice and water.

Stir the Jello on and off for about 30 minutes. The ice water will cool the Jello and it will become the consistency of hair gel, that is when you want to add the strawberries!

Stir the strawberries into the thick Jello, then pour the Jello into the bundt pan. Pop the jello into the fridge and let set.

Next, dissolve the last package of jello with 1 cup boiling water. Then stir in 1 cup cold water. Next, add an entire can of sweetened condensed milk to the jello.

Stir thoroughly and let it sit on the counter until the mixture cools to room temperature, for about 15 minutes.

After about 15 minutes, check the Jello in the fridge and it should be firm to the touch. Carefully pour the creamy layer of Jello on top of the fruit layer.

Put the Jello in the refrigerator, keep there over night before removing from the mold.

Because we prepared the pan with non-stick spray, the Jello should come out of the mold easily. If the Jello seems to be sticking to the pan, flip the bundt pan upside down and heat the outside of the pan with a hair dryer to loosen the Jello a bit. You could alternatively dip the bundt pan into hot water to loosen the Jello.

Can you make a Jello Mold in a Bundt Pan?

Yes, you can make a jello mold in a bundt pan! Remember to spray the pan first with non-stick spray so that the jello comes out easily.

How do you remove jello from the mold?

The key the easily removing a jello mold from the bundt pan is to thoroughly spray the pan with cooking spray before pouring the jello inside! I like to use spray because spray covers the surface of the pan better and gets into all the grooves of your bundt pan. Also, make sure your jello is fully set before removing it from the pan!

As you can see in my recipe, you have the jello sit overnight before removing it. If you’re really struggling to get it out of the pan, try to quickly heat the pan. My favorite way to do this is to fill the sink with really hot water, then dip the pan in for 5-10 seconds, then try overturning it again.

Step by step on how to make a Strawberry Jello Salad Mold

Prepare bundt pan by spraying it lightly but thoroughly with non-stick spray. Set aside.
Dissolve 2 packages of Jello into 4 cups boiling water. Add 2 cups cold water to the Jello.
If adding fresh fruit: Set the bowl with the Jello into a larger bowl filled with ice water. Stir the Jello occasionally for 30 minutes until it thickens, similar to hair gel like consistency.
Stir in the sliced strawberries and pour into the prepared bundt pan mold. Put in the fridge to chill for 15-20 minutes.
While the Jello is in the fridge, dissolve the last package of Jello into 1 cup of boiling water. Add the remaining 1 cup of cold water to the Jello mixture once the powdered has been dissolved.
Stir in the entire can of sweetened condensed milk and let the mixture come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
Check the Jello in the fridge, it should be firm to the touch. Carefully pour the creamy Jello onto the fruit Jello in the bundt pan.
Let the Jello sit in the refrigerator overnight.
When removing the Jello from the mold, place a large plate on top of the bundt pan and flip in one swift movement. If the jello seems to be having a hard time coming out of the mold, heat the bundt pan mold slightly by either using a hair dryer or dipping the mold into hot water and flipping again.
