Notes
CHEF JENN’S TIPS
- These Easter Jell-O Dessert Cups aren't a quick fix. Leave yourself plenty of time to make them because they need to be set up in the fridge after each layer. They'll also need 3-4 hours in the fridge when finished to fully set.
- Get the kids to help! Once the liquid Jell-O has cooled, they can help assemble and decorate the cups.
- Use clear cups so you can see all the layers.
