Description

Beach Party Jello Cups are a super cute, no-bake dessert made with blue Jell-O “ocean,” crushed cookies for “sand,” and topped with fun beachy decorations like gummy candies and paper umbrellas. These are easy to make and always a hit at summer get-togethers!


Ingredients

  • 2 (3 oz) boxes blue raspberry Jell-O

  • 4 cups boiling water

  • 2 cups cold water

  • 1 cup whipped topping (optional, for wave effect)

  • 8 vanilla wafers or golden Oreos, crushed (for sand)

  • 8-10 gummy fish or sharks

  • 8-10 mini drink umbrellas or beach-themed decorations

  • 8 small clear plastic cups


Instructions

  1. Dissolve Jell-O: In a large bowl, whisk together Jell-O and boiling water until fully dissolved.

  2. Add cold water and stir. Let the mixture cool slightly (about 10–15 minutes).

  3. Pour the Jell-O evenly into clear plastic cups, filling about 2/3 of the way.

  4. Chill in the fridge for 2–3 hours, or until fully set.

  5. Top with crushed cookies to create a “sand” layer.

  6. Add decorations: Place a gummy fish or shark in each cup, then top with an umbrella or themed decoration. Add a dollop of whipped topping if you want to mimic ocean waves.

  7. Serve chilled and enjoy!


Notes

  • Use clear cups so the ocean and sand layers are visible.

  • For a tropical twist, try using pineapple Jell-O instead.

  • You can prep these the day before and decorate right before serving.
