Creamy and Smooth
The addition of the raspberry sorbet and the vanilla ice cream give this a delicious creamy yet refreshing flavor and texture. I like this brand Talenti, as it is very fresh and fruit forward.
I knew it would be perfect in this recipe and I was not wrong. Any vanilla ice cream will do, but I do encourage you to use a very creamy and rich one.
This isn’t going to be your ordinary jello. If you’re used to the kind of plastic jello cups you got from the cafeteria at school or after you got your tonsils out.
Jello like this will make you rethink jello as you know it.
Dairy Free?
The only potential downside to this jello is that, as magical as the ice cream makes it, it also means it’s less friendly to the lactose intolerant.
You can feel free to experiment with nondairy ice creams, but be aware that many of them have different textures or tastes so they may not quite… gel…
Instead you may want to consider Lactaid Ice Cream, which is regular ice cream with an enzyme added to break down the lactose.
If you do try a nondairy version, let me know how it goes!
Romantic Raspberry
This is a perfect dish to make for a romantic partner, whether on Valentine’s Day, your anniversary, or a weekly date night.

It creates a silky and delightful jello that is heavenly to eat. The perfecrt light and fruity dessert, or the perfect side to a heavy meal.

Ingredients
- 2 packages of Raspberry Jello (3 ounces each)
- 1 Pint of raspberry sherbet or sorbet
- 1/2 pint vanilla ice cream
- 2 cups of water
- Approximately 2 cups of fresh raspberries
- Mint for garnish optional
- Whipped Cream for garnish optional (see recipe linked in post for make ahead whipped cream)
Instructions
- Bring two cups of water to a boil.
- Add the Jello packets, whisk until dissolved completely.
- Add the pint of raspberry sherbet. I bought a really good quality one by the brand Talenti. Linked in post. Whisk until melted into the Jello.
- Add the 1/2 pint of vanilla ice cream, I also bought a better quality one so that it was extra rich. Whisk until completely melted.
- I used a vintage jello mold that I use. I spray it with Pam spray to prevent sticking. You can use a bundt pan and spray it as well. You can also use coconut oil spray. You can also just make this in a bowl or a glass dish if you don't want to make a mold.
- Add the fresh berries to the mold or glass dish. Reserve some for garnish.
- Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Overnight is even better.
- When you are ready to remove from the mold or bundt pan. Fill a bowl with warm water. Quickly submerge the bottom of the mold into the water for just a second or two. Place a plate or platter over the mold and flip over.
- Garnish with raspberries and mint. Serve whipped cream on the side.
- If you make this in a bowl or a glass dish, top with some dollops of whipped cream and add the berries and mint.
- I would suggest not plating this until right before serving.
- You can make this a couple of days in advance.
Whipped Cream
Whipped Cream would be great on this jello. You can make my Make Ahead Whipped Cream for a perfect topping.
