People either hate Peeps or love them. I love them...when they're stale and chewy! 😄 She has more recipes with Peeps on her YouTube channel.
Easter Peeps in Gelatin Dessert - I did it so you won't have to
4 cups clear liquid (I suggest white grape juice or soda)
2 cans sweetened condensed milk
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water
1 box cherry or strawberry Jell-O powder
1 box blue raspberry Jell-O Powder
5 tbsp of unsweetened gelatin powder
Place 2 cups of your clear liquid of choice in a large saucepan. Sprinkle 3 tbsp of gelatin powder over the liquid and allow it to absorb water until you don't see any more dry powder.
Pour 2 cups of boiling clear liquid in the saucepan and stir until dissolved over low heat. I say boiling water in the video, but now that I think about it, I am recommending that you use something with more flavour (like white grape juice or sprite soda).
Pour this into a Bundt pan (mine is a 12 cup pan) that has been lightly greased with cooking spray,.
It should come to about halfway up the pan.
Cool this (I put mine in the fridge) until the gelatin starts to gel.
While you are waiting for the base layer to gel, prepare the next to layers.
Once the clear layer is gelled enough, press the Peeps into the gelatin, upside down and facing outward. If they just float up to the surface, try pressing down again almost to the bottom, it they continue to pop up, put the clear gelatine back into the fridge to chill a bit more.
Chill this completely until gelatin is well set, this won't take long once it has started to set.
For the pink and blue layers, do the following:
Combine a package of Jell-O with one tbsp of unflavoured gelatin.
Add one cup of boiling water and stir until Jell-O is dissolved.
Stir in one cup of cold water.
Stir in one can of sweetened condensed milk.
Repeat with other package of Jell-O
Allow the mixtures to cool completely on the countertop (not fridge).
Pour the blue layer over the clear layer and put it back into the fridge until set completely.
Pour the pink layer over the blue layer and refrigerate until set.
If your pink mixture has become set while you were waiting, microwave the mixture for just a few seconds at a time until liquid enough to pour.
I recommend allowing the entire thing to chill for no more than a couple of hours before unmolding. I think this may keep the Peeps from getting super squishy, but I'm not sure about that.
