Baking Tips
For a firmer texture, prepare the day before serving to allow flavors to meld completely.
Substitute frozen berries if fresh aren't available, but thaw and drain them first to prevent excess liquid.
Try different flavors of gelatin to complement your berry selection - strawberry, raspberry, or mixed berry all work well.
For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping.
Add 1/2 cup of chopped toasted nuts like pecans or walnuts for additional texture and flavor.

1 cup fresh raspberries
11
1 cup mini marshmallows
12

Instructions

01
In a medium bowl, dissolve the berry-flavored gelatin in boiling water, stirring for about 2 minutes until completely dissolved.

Transfer the mixture to a decorative serving bowl or a 9x13 inch dish.
08
Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours until set.
09
Before serving, top with the reserved berries and optional fresh mint leaves.
