Instructions
Prepare the Gelatin Base
In a medium saucepan combine mango juice, sugar, and unflavored gelatin. Heat over medium, stirring constantly until the gelatin and sugar fully dissolve (do not boil).
Time: PT10M
Temperature: Medium heat
Divide and Color the Mixture
Pour the warm gelatin mixture into three small mixing bowls. Add green food coloring to the first, yellow to the second, and red to the third. Stir each gently until the color is uniform.
Time: PT5M
Form the Bottom Green Layer
Fill each cavity of the silicone mango mold about one‑third full with the green gelatin. Tap the mold gently to release air bubbles.
Time: PT2M
Chill the Green Layer
Place the mold in the refrigerator and let the green layer set for 30 minutes.
Time: PT30M
Temperature: 4°C
Add the Yellow Middle Layer
Remove the mold, then carefully pour the yellow gelatin over the set green layer until the cavity is two‑thirds full.
Time: PT2M
Chill the Yellow Layer
Return the mold to the refrigerator and chill for another 30 minutes.
Time: PT30M
Temperature: 4°C
Add the Red Top Layer
Pour the red gelatin to fill each cavity to the top, creating the classic mango ombré.
Time: PT2M
Final Chill
Re‑refrigerate the mold for a final 30 minutes until the entire mango shell is firm.
Time: PT30M
Temperature: 4°C
Prepare the Jell‑O Filling
While the shells set, dissolve the strawberry Jell‑O packet in 1 cup cold water, stir, then refrigerate for 5 minutes until just thickened. Fold in heavy cream to create a smooth, creamy filling.
Time: PT10M
Unmold and Fill
Gently pop the solid mango shells from the silicone mold. Spoon the creamy Jell‑O filling into each cavity, leaving a small margin at the top.
Time: PT5M
Final Set
Place the filled mango candies back in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to let the filling firm up slightly.
Time: PT15M
Temperature: 4°C
