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.

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
-
Dissolve your Jello in boiling water before whisking together with some vanilla ice cream. Add to bundt pan or baking dish and let set.
-
Repeat with remaining Jello packets and vanilla ice cream.
-
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.

Notes
Nutrition
What would the measurements be if I wanted to use 6 colors of Jello?
I have heard of this recipe but in the freezer not the refrigerator. Since it is made with ice-cream will it not melt in the refrigerator?
I am sure this will turn out fine. I used a Tupperware jello mold. It made 3 colors and not 4 as you see in the picture. Next time I would use a square pan.
Oh my goodness , this looks so good. I can not wait to try it. I’m sure it will be delicious. and a new favorite in our house.
Ok I assume this is the large pkgs of jello?
Thanks for catching that Sherry! I used the small ones for this jello salad. The 3-ounce size. I have added it to the recipe card. I hope you have a great day!
Thank you can’t wait to make. So Easter!
Are u saying small box is not the right size
