Not everyone has appetizers before dinner and not everyone has dessert either, but sometimes it can be nice to make appetizers or dessert, or even both, because it makes dinner extra special.
Appetizers and desserts can be as filling and substantial or as small as you want. Think about dessert recipes, for example. If you are hungry you might want a big slab of chocolate cake with whipped cream or a generous slice of warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream. If you prefer something lighter, that is where jello recipes really hold their own.
Jello Dessert Ideas
There are jello recipes for every occasion and if you just fancy something sweet after dinner, you might like to make a plain jello dessert, a layered jello dessert or even jello with chunks of fruit in it. Jello is suitable for kids and adults alike and you can even get sugar free varieties of jello which are perfect if you want to enjoy dessert without consuming lots of calories or fat.
Jello can be used to make cookies, cakes or pies. Jello instant pudding is great when you want a dessert in a hurry and this delicious dessert comes in many flavors. You can also use jello pudding to make mousse recipes or pies.
Pairing Jello with Fruit
Another good idea for dessert is to make a jello-filled fruit. You can remove the flesh from an orange, grapefruit or melon and pour jello inside. Leave it to set and you have a special and unique dessert.
Desserts like this are so simple to make and you can even make them in bulk if you are catering for a buffet or party. Choose sugar free jello and you will be able to make a healthy dessert which tastes amazing.
After dinner it is nice to indulge your sweet tooth, even if you just have a small dessert. Desserts are a good way to end dinner. Sometimes you can have something indulgent and other times perhaps you just fancy a jello recipe or something light.
