How To Make Impressive Candy Corn JELL-O Mini Desserts

Candy Corn Jell-O Mini Desserts! Aren’t these the cutest? The inspiration for these was a pin on Pinterest. It featured a mini dessert that resembled candy corn in a shot glass. The little mini flare dessert glasses in the cupboard came to mind when I saw them. These make any little dessert special! The shape of these mimics the candy corn better, too, right?

How To Make Impressive Candy Corn JELL-O Mini Desserts — Candy Corn Mini-Desserts

The grandkids love Jell-O, and I knew they would love these, especially when presented like this!

This is such an easy mini dessert!

Candy Corn Jell-O Mini Desserts

1 (4-serving) box Lemon Jell-O
Water
1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
2-1/2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
1-1/2 Tablespoons Meringue Powder
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

First, prepare the Lemon Jell-O following the directions on the package. (I used 3/4 cup of cold water instead of 1 cup, thinking that the lemon layer would be a little firmer. Don’t know if it really was necessary! Lol!)

Then, ladle the prepared Jell-O into the mini flare dessert glasses, filling up the lower half of the glass. *Place these in the refrigerator to set for 20 – 30 minutes. You want these to be firm so there will be a distinct edge separating the two colors.

Then, prepare the Orange Jell-O following the directions on the package. Place the orange Jell-O in the fridge for a few minutes to cool before pouring on top of the lemon layer. Place back in the fridge to set before topping with the whipped cream topping recipe below, or if you would rather, top with Cool Whip or Reddi-Wip. The whipped cream below is stabilized with Meringue Powder and won’t weep. You can make it a day ahead and it will stay perfectly!

Stabilized Whipped Cream

Chill a medium-sized mixing bowl and mixer beaters in the freezer for 20 minutes. Pour 1 cup of the heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Add 2-1/2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and beat until thickened.

Mix in 1-1/2 tablespoons of the Meringue Powder and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Whip until stiff peaks form.

Place in a large pastry tube fitted with a large round tip. Pipe on the top of the set orange Jell-O and top with a kernel of candy corn.

*My tip for you here - use a plastic refrigerator bin to corral mini dessert glasses.   The sides are taller than a sheet pan and keep them from tipping.   It's much easier to place them in, and take them out of, the refrigerator!

Place silicone potholders in the bottom of the bins.  These grab the base of the glass and keep them from sliding around.  (Ever had an unset Jell-O tip over in the fridge?  Not a pretty thing!)  I'm not sure if the spongy silicone potholders would work for this but the firmer ones work great.
