Creamy Jigglers

 

Holiday/ Special Occasions

 

4     3-ounce boxes cherry gelatin

1 ½ cups boiling water

1     cup cold milk

1     3.4-ounce box instant vanilla pudding and pie filling mix

1     cup sour red cherries, drained

 

Stir boiling water into gelatin, at least 3 minutes.   Cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.  Pour milk into mixing bowl.  Add pudding mix and beat with a mixer until thick, about 2 minutes.  Quickly pour into gelatin.  Stir with a wire whisk until well blended.  Stir in cherries that have been drained, patted dry with paper towels and cut in half.  Pour into a 9 x13 x 2-inch pan lightly coated with cooking spray.    Refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. 

To cut Jigglers, dip bottom of pan in warm water for a few seconds to loosen gelatin.  Cut heart shapes with various size cookie cutters.  Using a small spatula, lift from pan and place immediately on a chilled plate.
