Ahh, nostalgia.
that firms up in the fridge—was markedly absent from the rotation of desserts that my brother and I enjoyed on a nightly basis throughout our childhood. In fact, straight-up Jell-O didn’t even make the cut—it was just a tad too “homemade” for our family of Double Stuf Oreo–eating peeps—even though we both loved it.We loved Jell-O so much we considered it a huge coup every time we got to leave our Flintstone lunchboxes at home and eat in the school cafeteria instead.
Jell-O Whip, however, was not on offer in the cafeteria of the Edward Devotion School. Prior to writing my cookbook,, which is filled with updated old-school recipes from recipe booklets, a clever advertising tool distributed to America’s early- to mid-century housewives by ingredient and appliance companies, I had never heard of it. But the dozens of Jell-O Whip recipes I found while researching—which dated as far back as 1916—instantly reminded me of the school cafeteria desserts of my youth.
As I embarked on revising the recipe, I realized very quickly that if you’ve seen one Jell-O whip recipe, you’ve seen them all. To make it, a box of powdered Jell-O is combined with cold and then hot water, and left to gel in the fridge until partially set. The soft gel is then whisked until quite foamy. Freshly whipped unsweetened cream is folded in, and the whip is returned to the fridge until it fully sets into a light, fruity mousse.
To tweak, I nixed the box of Jell-O and the water, substituting an envelope of powdered gelatin and several cups of both hot and cold passion fruit juice in their stead. In my stand mixer, I whisked the partially set gelatin-and-juice mixture for a good five to six minutes , added the whipped cream, portioned the mixture into ramekins, and refrigerated them until set, about an hour or two. If passion fruit isn't your family's favorite flavor, you can substitute another juice instead.
As we all scarfed down our ramekin-filled whips , I regaled my boys with stories of my Jell-O-filled youth, and they wondered aloud about a magical time when school lunch included a dessert every day.
