I love my Tupperware Jel-Ring Mold and I use it all of the time to make cool and refreshing gelatin desserts for my family. I thought I would make another post with some of my favorite dessert recipes that you can whip up quickly and put them into your Tupperware Jel-Ring Mold or any other type of mold you have that is similar to that.

Bavarian Cream Dessert Mold Recipe

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin mix
2 tablespoons cold water
1 1/3 cups milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix together the gelatin mix with the cold water and let it set for 4 to 5 minutes. In a large saucepan over low heat, warm up the milk. Stir in the granulated sugar, salt and the gelatin/water mixture. Continue to heat this until the sugar has been dissolved but being careful to not boil it. (it should be hot but not boiling). In a small bowl beat the egg yolks lightly and add 2 tablespoons of the hot milk mixture to it. Pour mixture into the hot milk that is still in the saucepan. Simmer mixture over low to medium heat, stirring often until it thickens. Remove from heat and pour mixture into a bowl. Let cool for 5 minutes at room temperature and then chill in the refrigerator until it is almost set. Remove from the refrigerator. Mix together the stiffened egg whites, heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract. Fold this mixture into the semi-set chilled mixture. Spoon all of it into your Jel-Ring Mold. Seal. Place into the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours to allow it to firmly set up.

Strawberry Bavarian Cream Dessert Mold Recipe

1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin mix
2 tablespoons cold water
1 1/2 cups crushed strawberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream, whipped

In a small measuring cup soak the gelatin mix in the 2 tablespoons cold water and let sit for 5 minutes to dissolve. If it isn't dissolved after 5 minutes you can heat it up slightly in your microwave and then pour it into a large bowl. Stir in the crushed fresh strawberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar and salt until well blended. Place bowl into the refrigerator until mixture is almost set. Remove. Whip the heavy cream and then fold it into the gelatin mixture. Pour entire mixture into a Jel-Ring Mold. Seal and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Right before serving time you can serve some whipped cream and freshly sliced strawberries on top if desired.
