My sister-in-law shared this Jello Gem Cream Roll recipe, but I slightly changed the filling instructions. She used one flavor of jello which was not fully set yet, to sweeten and add color to her whipped cream filling. I chose to use 3 different jello flavors, let each fully set, then cut them into small “gems” and gently fold them into the whipped cream to create the mosaic effect.
This hot summer weather is calling for lots of quick-to-prepare light meals, thus lots of salads and refreshing desserts.
Jello desserts are one of my favorite desserts for the summer, because they are light, and served cold.
Today I will share a No Bake recipe for a Low Fat Jello Cheesecake, which is very simple to prepare, presents itself very nicely, and tastes delicious.
Jello Cheesecake is much lighter than a traditional cheesecake, and to make it even lighter, you may use 1/3 less fat cream cheese, which I tested on one of the layers, and it held up as well as the regular cheese.
Fruit tarts always look so fresh, inviting, and mouth-watering. I was inspired by a recipe I found online, which I altered slightly and baked my own delicious fruit tart.
I love the creaminess of the custard filling in a Napoleon dessert, the flakiness of the pastry layers, and the sweetness of the glazed top, accented with dark chocolate.
It was an easy project, thanks to Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry dough, instant pudding mix, my home grown strawberries, and fresh whipped cream.
