Well, y’all, summer is here, and that means it’s time to indulge in some refreshing, sweet treats—and jello is a fun, fruity, and jiggly option! Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ or just enjoying a sunny afternoon, these summer jello recipes will have everyone reaching for sweet, sweet seconds.
Start with a classic—Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty, with a tangy cream cheese layer and a crunchy pretzel crust. For a lighter option, try Bobby’s Lighter Strawberry Pretzel Salad, which is just as delicious but with fewer calories!
If you’re in the mood for something vintage, Paula’s Strawberry Mold, a cool, creamy treat that melts in your mouth; her Lime Salad, which is tart, refreshing, and always a hit at summer gatherings; or her Old-Fashioned Strawberry Pie recipe, which is absolutely loaded with fresh strawberries!
Now, not all summer jello recipes have to have the jiggle factor—some of these sweet treats use jello mix for flavor and texture, like Gelatin Cheesecake, Strawberry Shortcake, Chocolate Cherry Chiffon Pie, and this unexpected Strawberry Margarita Mousse (don’t worry, there’s no alcohol included!).
