Instructions

Crust (optional if having in a cup)

Step 1

Heat butter until melted then add marshmallows stirring frequently until melted. Fold in puffed rice until evenly mixed.

Step 2

Prepare deep pie tin but applying a thin coat of butter to the entire inside of it.

Step 3

Pour marshmallow rice puff mixture into the pie tin and using parchment/wax paper evenly press down on bottom and sides to create a crust. It should set quickly, but you can keep pressing on it.

Step 4

Scrape as much mixture as you can out of the pot then wash the pot with HOT soapy water. You'll want to do this as soon as you're done pushing the crust down.

For 'Jello' Mixture

Step 5

Pour ½ cup of juice into a mixing bowl. Mix in honey or sugar (optional) Sprinkle gelatin powder on top and let sit atleast 5 minutes.

Step 6

In the meantime, boil the other 1½ cups of juice. Once boiling pour into mixing bowl and gently stir until gelatin and honey dissolve.

Step 7

Loosely cover and place in fridge for an hour until it just starts to set. If its not starting to set after an hour check on it every 15 minutes until it does.

Step 8

In the meantime make the whipped cream. You should end up with about 4 cups.

Step 9

Fold half of the whipped cream into the just starting to set jello until just mixed. Try not to over mix.

Step 10

***If your jello has accidentally fully set, bloom a little more juice and gelatine powder together for 5 minutes. Then use a hand mixer and mix ~1cup of whipped cream into it until there's no lumps. Then FOLD in another 1 cup of whipped cream. It should be salvageable.

Step 11

Pour mixture on top of crust and spread evenly

Whipped Cream

Step 12

Make sure bowl, beaters/whisk attachment, and cream are cold. The bowl and beaters can go in the freezer for a while if you have room.

Step 13

Pour sugar, vanilla extract, and cream into the bowl

Step 14

Beat/wisk with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form. DON'T OVER MIX OR IT WILL TURN TO BUTTER! If it becomes 'chunky' its been over mixed and cannot be saved.

Step 15

Gently spread whipped cream over the jello mixture and let set in fridge until ready to eat
