Description

Whimsical layered desserts that resemble vibrant aquariums, perfect for summer gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups of blue gelatin (prepared according to package directions)
  • 1 cup of whipped cream or whipped topping

  • Assorted gummy sea creatures (e.g., fish, sharks, and jellyfish)
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Mini plastic shovels or spoons for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blue gelatin according to package instructions and let cool slightly.

  3. Layer whipped cream on top of the gelatin using a spoon or piping bag.
  4. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the whipped cream to mimic the ocean floor.
  5. Repeat the layering process with blue gelatin and whipped cream until jars are full, leaving some space for gummy sea creatures.
  6. Add gummy sea creatures on top and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
