Description
These hot pink watermelon jello wedges are a fun, no-bake dessert made in lime rinds for a playful watermelon look. Bright, fruity, and perfect for parties or summer gatherings.
Ingredients
3 limes, halved and thoroughly scooped out
1 box hot pink watermelon gelatin dessert
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold clear soda
1 tbsp black sesame seeds
Instructions
- Whisk the watermelon gelatin powder into the boiling water until fully dissolved.
- Stir in the cold clear soda, then gently mix in the black sesame seeds.
- Place the hollowed lime halves in a muffin tin to keep them upright.
- Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into each lime half until filled to the brim.
- Refrigerate for about 4 hours or until completely set.
- Once firm, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to slice each lime half into wedges.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
Use strawberry or cherry gelatin for a similar bright color with a flavor twist.
Swap clear soda for lemon-lime soda to enhance citrus flavor.
Add extra black sesame seeds on top for a more decorative look.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Keep wedges in a single layer or separated with parchment paper to maintain shape.
Do not reheat; serve chilled for best texture.
