These Individual Patriotic Jello Salads are a fun and festive treat for summer holidays like the 4th of July and Memorial Day. With bright red, white, and blue layers, they look impressive but are surprisingly easy to make. Served in individual cups, they’re perfect for BBQs, potlucks, and family gatherings.
Divide 1 cup of the blueberries between 8 (8 oz) plastic cups or glasses. Place the cups leaning at an angle in a muffin tin. I found it helpful to crumple half of a paper towel into the bottom of each muffin cup to keep the cups angled.
In a bowl, combine the boiling water and Jell-O together. Stir for 2 minutes until the Jell-O dissolves. Add the ice and stir until dissolved, then add the cold water. Stir and then carefully pour 1 cup of the Jell-O evenly among the 8 cups.
Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm.
Whisk 1 cup of the Cool Whip into the remaining Jell-O. Pour evenly between the 8 cups and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
To serve, top each Jell-O salad with a dollop of the remaining Cool Whip, followed by the remaining blueberries. Serves 8.
