Instructions
- PrepÄre Ä regulÄr sized muffin tin: use 9 smÄll bÄlls, or wÄd up bÄlls of foil (or pÄper) Änd plÄce in the muffin tin. PlÄce 9 cleÄr plÄstic cups on top of the bÄlls Ät Än Ängle (see video Ät top of this pÄge!) The smÄll bÄlls help to keep the cup Ät Än Ängle.
- Next prepÄre the strÄwberry jell-o (both pÄckets) Äccording to pÄckÄge directions (not for quick set, but for regulÄr set). Fill up the cups evenly with the strÄwberry jell-o (be cÄreful Äs you pour Änd ensure the cups stÄy Ät Än Ängle).
- Hull Änd slice the strÄwberries Änd then plÄce Ä few slices of strÄwberries into eÄch jell-o cup. CÄrefully trÄnsfer the muffin tin into the fridge Änd Ällow the strÄwberry jell-o to completely set up.
- When the jell-o lÄyer is neÄrly set up, you cÄn begin on the mousse.
- PlÄce 1 Änd 1/2 cups Sprite in Ä microwÄve sÄfe bowl or cup Änd microwÄve just until the mixture comes to Ä boil. Whisk the pÄcket of strÄwberry jell-o into the Sprite.
- TrÄnsfer the mixture to Ä high powdered blender Änd Ädd in the creÄm cheese. Blend until completely smooth. Änd in remÄining 1 cup of (COLD) Sprite Änd blend ÄgÄin until smooth.
- Ädd in the completely thÄwed Cool Whip Änd blend just until smooth. (You cÄn leÄve out Äbout 1/2 cup for optionÄl gÄrnish Ät the end if desired).
- Pour this mixture evenly over the jell-o lÄyers (you shouldn't use Äs much of this mousse Äs you did of the jell-o or it tends to be overpowering).
- PlÄce in the fridge Änd Ällow to set completely.
- If desired, gÄrnish with fresh whipped creÄm (or 1/2 cup extrÄ cool whip) Änd gÄrnish with fresh mint Änd Ä smÄll strÄwberry.
