Strawberry Cheesecake Jello Eggs May Be A New Easter Family Tradition.

If you’re looking for an new Easter tradition, look no further! These Jello eggs have been a family tradition of ours for more than 20 years. I experimented with different flavor combinations and came up with this Strawberry Cheesecake Jello egg version that is absolutely delicious!

Years ago, when our oldest daughter was around 2 years old, Jello was offering free Jello egg molds with a Jello purchase, as an Easter promotion. I thought they were cute, so I bought the Jello and got one of the molds. I was really skeptical about how well they would turn out, because at that point, I had no experience with Jello molds or Jigglers of any type.

Well, they not only turned out perfectly, but they were a massive hit with my husband and daughter. So much so, that I bought a lot more Jello in order to get more of the molds. I’m so glad I did! Through the years, when any of my four children were sick, if they wouldn’t eat anything else, I could make them Jello eggs and they would get so excited they’d eat them with no complaint. Their size is perfect for little hands.

27 Years & It’s Still Not Easter At Our House Without Them!

Now, my youngest is almost 20 and I have two grandchildren. All 4 of my children, as well as my son-in-law, are still requesting Jello eggs. I have to make Jello Jigglers periodically at the request of my grandchildren.

Easter is usually when I pull out my egg molds, but it’s not unusual to have so many requests from my family that I’ve pulled them out at other times of the year as well.

The Jello egg molds came with a small recipe booklet with recipes for different types of Jello eggs. The recipe here is for their Creamy Egg Jigglers. I love the strawberry/cheesecake combination and so do my family and friends.

Use Jello Or Silicone Molds

Now for the bad news. I haven’t seen Jello offer the egg molds for years. With that being said, I have seen them on Ebay and in second hand shops. You can make them in the silicone Egglette molds that have been really popular lately for boiling eggs. Just be aware that they won’t really look much like eggs, because they come out flat on the bottom. See the picture below.

However, even if you can’t find the Jello Egg molds, you can use any cute Jello or silicone mold to make these. Amazon offers a good selection of Easter silicone molds that would be adorable. They even have some really cute egg molds. See them here.

If you do use silicone, you need to oil it really, really well. Jello tends to stick to silicone more than it does to Jello molds. It will still work fine, just remember to be generous with the oil, it won’t affect the taste at all. Don’t let the unavailability of the original egg molds that I used keep you from making this recipe. It’s fantastic. If nothing else, gel it in a serving bowl and spoon it out!

Tips For Making Strawberry Cheesecake Jello Eggs

If you use the Jello egg molds, just make sure the mold has completely sealed by putting it on a flat surface, and using the palm of your hand press down firmly on the top of the mold. Also take a look at the mold from the sides to be sure it completely sealed. If you do this, you won’t have any leaks. I’ve been using mine for nearly 30 years and they still don’t leak.

Another important step is to coat the mold you are using with oil. I usually just put some olive or canola oil on a paper towel and coat the inside of my mold making sure it’s coated completely. Again, be generous with the oil if using silicone molds. You won’t have to worry about these sticking at all if you do this. Also make sure that the Jello has completely set before trying to remove from the mold.

When you get ready to un-mold your Jello, patience is key. If using the egg molds, take a butter knife and slide it in between the top and bottom of the mold between the egg and give it a little twist to separate the top from the bottom. Do this on all four sides of the mold. Next, gently pull the mold apart while jiggling it back and forth to help loosen the Jello and slide it out.

Experiment With Different Flavors To Find Your Favorite

You can use this recipe year round with different seasonal molds. Make sure to also try out different flavor combinations. We also love apricot/cheesecake and peach/cheesecake. I’m hoping to find coconut cream pudding mix in our area this year. I’m going to mix it with pineapple and see if I can make a pina colada version. Another good pudding flavor to use is vanilla. Like the cheesecake pudding, you can mix it with a lot of other flavors. You can also make these with sugar free Jello gelatin and pudding mix.
