Notes
Allow enough time for setting: After assembling the mixed berry jello dessert, refrigerate it for the recommended time to allow the jello and creamy layers to set correctly. This ensures a firm, stable dessert that holds its shape when sliced.
Chill before serving: For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the dessert for at least a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set fully.
Slice neatly: To get perfect, clean slices, use a sharp knife and slice the dessert straight out of the fridge.
Garnish creatively: To add a finishing touch to your dessert, garnish it with fresh berries, mint leaves, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar just before serving. Play around and add edible flowers.
