Patriotic Jello and Cream Push Pops
Patriotic Jello and Cream Push Pops are easy to make and fun to eat. Kids can help build the layers of Jello, lemon cream, and sprinkles. Perfect for 4th of July or Memorial Day celebrations.
They’re fun to look at and even more fun to eat! Get your kids involved in layering the Jello, lemon cream, and sprinkles.
Push pop container
I bought the push pop (or cake push pop) containers and stand on Amazon. I love them for their fun factor. You can make a push pop out of almost anything. I have some unique ideas coming up in future posts using them.
The stand does have to be purchased separately and it’s not a requirement because you could use a mason jar filled with M&M’s to stand them in, but since this is intended as a centerpiece I like the use of the stand, which can also be purchased from Amazon. I think you’ll agree they make a striking presentation all lined up like patriotic soldiers.
Originally, I didn’t know what I was going to use the push pop containers for, so they’ve been in my prop closet for a while. When I was thinking about posting a recipe for Memorial Day, it was actually suggested by my husband. He suggested something based on his favorite dessert that I make for him, pomegranate panna cotta.
Push pop layers
This is a dessert layered with pomegranate jello and orange panna cotta, which is an Italian cream. But just to make it easier, I am using store bought jello which can be made in minutes and the whipping cream is just heated with gelatin and lemon zest.
These patriotic jello and cream push pops will surely be the center of attention at your Memorial Day barbecue. Of course, they don’t just have to be for Memorial Day – 4th of July celebrations are just around the corner!
