How To Make Sparkling Jello

November 9, 2010 by Wifeeclectic 14 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Did you know that you can make Jello that fizzes? Jello used to make special boxes of Jello it called “Sparkling Jello,” then everyone figured out that they didn’t need a $2 package of Jello because they could make it from the regular Jello and they stopped selling the special boxes.

Sparkling Jello

Sparkling Jello was one of my favorite things during the holidays as a child. My mom always made it during Christmas and I was always stealing and extra slice. It is super easy to make, you need just one extra ingredient besides Jello and water… Club Soda.

Sparkling Jello

You will need:

  • 6 OZ Package of Jello
  • 2 Cups Cold Club Soda (refrigerate it overnight)
  • 1.5 Cups water

Bring one and a half cups of water to a boil. Stir the water in a bowl with the Jello. Stir quickly until the Jello is completely dissolved. Refrigerate the Jello for 15 minutes. Make sure to time the Jello, you don’t want it to set too much. Stir in the two cups of cold club soda. Refrigerate the Sparkling Jello until firm.

If you want to add fruit to your fizzy Jello, refrigerate the Jello for 30 minutes after you add the COLD club soda and then stir your chopped or sliced fruit in. Refrigerate until firm.

Now your guests will have a fun surprise when their Jello fizzes in their mouths!

    Haha, my mom used to make this all the time… I never knew that Jello actually marketed it… What a strange reverse life we live. 🙂

    I can't believe this is the first time I've every heard of fizzy jello. I guess I missed it when it was in the stores. Thanks for the recipe!

    Was glad to find this recipe as I know I used to make it years ago and had forgotten the quantities of water and soda. I used diet 7-Up and sugar-free lemon and lime Jell-O to make mine today and it turned out really great. I am assuming you do not have to use club soda, that you can use any fizzy beverage.

      You sure can! Just keep in mind that it adds the flavor of whatever soda you are using. With 7-up or Sprite, that is usually just a hint of lemon. For other flavors we usually use club soda so it doesn’t add an extra flavor but strawberry jello with Sprite is delicious!

    I’m going to try cherry sugar free Jell-o with 1/2 Meijer diet cranberry soda. If you like cranberry their diet cranberry soda is delicious.
