When I hold parties, I like making my dessert table as colorful as possible. I’ve got quite the sweet tooth and my friends know me for going all out with the treats and confections.
For this year’s Easter festivities, I wanted to go simple but still adhere to a certain theme. Pastel colors are fun to play with during this holiday. I took it upon myself to play around with those oh-so-popular candy eggs. They’re delicious and easy to work with.
I chose to use green Jell-o for my Easter Jell-o Nests to represent the leaves that start coming out in the springtime. I also love the fact that they’re lime flavored – gives a little zing to this dessert!
When you line up these Easter Jell-o Nests on the sweets table, they offer a colorful touch and catch the light quite beautifully. Make sure your shot glasses are bright and shiny… it’ll add that extra touch of brilliance.
Easter Jell-o Nests
1 package of green Jell-o
½ whipping cream (36%)
3-4 tsps sugar
Easter candy eggs
4 to 6 shot glasses (depending on size)
Prepare Jell-o according to package directions. Pour into each shot glass and allow to completely set.
Pour whipping cream in a medium-sized bowl and add sugar. With an electric mixer, beat on medium and gradually set on high to get a stiff consistency. Scoop whipped cream and place it evenly on each cup of Jell-o.
Top with candy eggs and serve. Happy Easter!
