Mixing ice cream and Jello sounds like one of those weird things where you think “that can’t work… can it?” To my surprise, it works perfectly: flavored gelatin combined with ice cream gives your Jello Mold an amazing creamy texture!

While you could go with just one flavor for this recipe, it’s more fun to mix and match a few flavors. It gives the finished Jello Mold a multi-color look that has a delicious spread of fruity flavors. With enough Jello and ice cream, you could make this into a Rainbow Jello Mold made with ice cream if you wanted!

This cool dessert, with its fruity flavors, is perfect for summertime parties and barbecues. Consider serving it up this year at Easter or for the Fourth of July! It’s a delicious, creamy, and fruity dish that’s too good to pass up! We’re certain you’re going to love this recipe.

• Old-Fashioned Cranberry Salad is another Jello mold dessert that’s perfect for Thanksgiving! Raspberry Jello comes together with pineapple and cranberry sauce for this delicious holiday dessert. Toss in some pecans for added crunch and flavor!
• For something a bit different, try a Cranberry Mousse instead. This spin on the classic Jello salad adds in a touch of sour cream which changes up the texture and adds a slight tang to the flavor. The perfect dessert if you’ve enjoyed Cranberry Salad and want to try something new!
• Of course, our Retro 7Up Jello Salad is another crowd-pleaser that’s great for the summer. Lime Jello and 7Up soda keep this salad tasting bright and fresh while the cream cheese and mayo make it creamy and a bit tangy. Pineapples and cherries bring plenty of sweetness that’ll keep this dessert or sweet side popular with the kids as well!

Ingredients for Jello Ice Cream

• Flavored Jello – We ended up using 4 separate Jello flavors for our Jello mold: cherry, lemon, lime, and orange. Have fun and experiment with other flavor combos!
• Ice Cream – Vanilla is the plainest and safest option here. You can try using other ice cream flavors but vanilla won’t mess with your Jello flavors as much.

How to make a Jello Mold with Ice Cream

1. Dissolve your Jello in boiling water before whisking together with some vanilla ice cream. Add to bundt pan or baking dish and let set.
2. Repeat with remaining Jello packets and vanilla ice cream.
3. Keep Ice Cream Jello Mold in fridge until serving.

Getting this Jello Mold prepped and made is quite easy. After mixing up our first Jello package with some boiling water, we’re going to add in the ice cream and give it a good whisking.

Once the ice cream is thoroughly whipped in, we can add it to our awaiting bundt pan or baking dish. That’ll need at least 15 minutes to set, but give it 30 if you’ve got the time. Once that first layer sets, we can repeat the process with our next layer…

Then the next layer…

And, eventually, our final layer! With the last layer in place, we can transfer the whole thing to the fridge where it will stay cool for a while.

When it comes time to serve, you’ll want to carefully loosen the Jello from the mold or dish before inverting over a plate.

With your Ice Cream Jello Mold all plated up, feel free to cut off a slice and enjoy all those flavors!

Jello Ice Cream Flavor Combinations

• Cranberry, Apple & Lime – The classic flavor combo of cranberry and apple tastes great with a little lime added in!
• Melon, Apple & Lemon – Melon Jello is paired with Jolly Rancher Green Apple Gelatin with a little citrus twist thrown in.
• Mixed Berries – Use flavors for all the berries you’d find in your favorite mixed berries. Some Berry Blue, Strawberry, Raspberry, and some Blackberry Fusion will work together perfectly!
• Classic Neapolitan – While Jello doesn’t make pistachio gelatin, there are a few brands that do. Pair pistachio with cherry and unflavored gelatin to get the red, white, and green of a classic Neapolitan! The unflavored gelatin will let the vanilla in the ice cream come through.
