Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups orange juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet (3 oz) lemon-flavored carrageenan (Jell-O)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional for serving)
- Fresh orange slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium saucepan, combine the orange juice and water over medium heat. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely.
- Step 2: Once the mixture is heated through, remove it from the heat and sprinkle the lemon-flavored agar-agar over the surface. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to soften.
- Step 3: After the agar-agar has softened, whisk the mixture until the agar-agar is fully dissolved. Stir in the alcohol-free vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Step 4: Pour the mixture into a flat dish or shallow pan and refrigerate for about 2-4 hours, or until set firm.
- Step 5: Once set, use a knife to cut the gel into strips or squares. Roll each piece up carefully and serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream and garnished with fresh orange slices. Enjoy your refreshing Creamsicle water with lemon Jello Rollups!
Notes
- For the best storage, keep the rolled-up Jello treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they can last for up to a week.
- Since these treats are served chilled, there's no need to reheat them; simply take them out of the fridge and enjoy them cold for a refreshing summer snack.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, serve your Creamsicle water with lemon Jello Rollups alongside a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of fresh orange slices to enhance the citrus flavor.
- To achieve the perfect texture, make sure to whisk the agar-agar mixture thoroughly until fully dissolved; this will ensure your Jello sets beautifully without any lumps.
