- Chill Time is Key: Make sure to allow adequate time for each layer to set in the refrigerator. This ensures clean layers and a beautiful presentation when you cut into it.
- Use Clear Glass Dish: Opt for a clear glass serving dish to showcase the stunning layers of red, white, and blue. It not only looks appealing but also allows everyone to see the deliciousness before they dig in!
- Garnish Generously: Don’t skimp on the fresh fruit garnish! The blueberries and strawberries not only add a pop of color but also enhance the flavor profile of this dessert.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be made a day in advance, making it a perfect option for busy hosts. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- Experiment with Flavors: While the classic red and blue flavors are delightful, feel free to experiment with different Jello flavors for a unique twist. Raspberry and blueberry can be a fun combination!
