Greetings my beautiful lovelies hello. It's Emmy welcome back to another retro recipe test today
I'm going to be making
7-up salad
So many of you chimed in via social media that you want to see this recipe made and tasted so here
I am today with my jello mold
Let me take you into the kitchen and show you what I did to get to this stage so in a medium saucepan
We're going to heat our 7-up along with our mini marshmallows
We're going to bring this up to a boil on medium heat and keep stirring
This until everything is completely dissolved. So once our marshmallows have dissolved, we're gonna add one small packet of lime jell-o
Mix that up until the jello is well incorporated
And then we're going to add our cream cheese you might want to cut this up into pieces a little bit to help it dissolve
And keep stirring this on medium medium-low heat until
You have this
Ectoplasmic ooze color and all the cream cheese is melted
Next we're going to add our crushed pineapple and our maraschino cherries
Now we're gonna take this off the heat and in a large bowl we're going to combine our cool whip and
our mayonnaise. Mix that together and then add our green jello mixture to that
Then we're gonna mix this all together
And then we're gonna pour it into our mold,
We're gonna place it into the refrigerator and chill it for at least six hours. It's best to do it overnight and
Dun Dun Dun Dun! We are with our jello mold. This is actually a pudding mold. That's why it has this lid
more like a traditional Figgy Duff or figgy pudding something like that or bread pudding. Unlock it and
There it is
Smells like mayonnaise I definitely smell some mayonnaise it smells just slightly vinegared. Yeah, but this is definitely going to be sweet
There's a ton of sugar in this. Before we continue
I should mention that I have a retro recipe playlist up the link there and there,
And if you're at all interested in gelatin or ring molds that is definitely a place of much joy. All right
Now let us try to get this out. In my past experience what I've done is I've taken a bowl of water
don't want it to be too hot. We're gonna take a thin and paring knife and kind of
Loosen it
We're trying to do is trying to get some air in there
So it'll release so when put that in there for just a few seconds
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Quick ten seconds that was just warm water here we go
Let's shake
Did that come out?
Nope
No,
Let's try that again!
So I've got some more hot tap water let's try that again shall we
Now let's try this again, let's do it for another ten seconds
One one thousand two one thousand three one thousand four one thousand five one thousand six one thousand seven thousand eight 1,009 1,010
Let's do another 5 seconds just added measure
A good measure, okay, okay now place this back on top like this and here we go oh
All right
Not coming out
Come! Out! Of! The! Mold!
Let's try our knife technique. Oh you know why!
I forgot to go around here
Yeah, that's why
All right, let's try more hot water let's give it a longer bath
Yeah, I think this is probably the most aggravating part of these jell-o molds is getting it out
Cuz if you soak it too long you end up melting
The exterior of your jello, which isn't so fun
so
That was probably another 15 seconds
All right, okay. Jello mold be good to me
This is silly
It's definitely still stuck in there. This is so much fun. All right here we go
It's not coming out, let's try an offset spatula
Ooh ooh! I think I just heard it release
All right, so I just heard it go, *slurping noises*
and I believe
It's come out. Ready? Here we go
That was the most satisfying sound ever! My jello just farted, yes!
I'm so happy
Yes! Look at that
perfection
perfection perfection
Look at that my mint green tower of
mayo
So that a little bit of aggravation that happens when you're trying to get the thing out well
It's worth it when it comes out like this
Yes, so for a little extra holiday flare, I'm going to add a little bit of Holly. Of course
you don't want to eat the Holly, Holly is poisonous I believe. Who's gonna eat the Holly when this is so beautiful?
Alright alright. So happy that it came out
Yeah, you know if you use Holly be careful because it's spikey
Wouldn't Martha be proud of me? Look how beautiful that is it makes it look so elegant
Dude
Look at this mint green wonder! Isn't it amazing? it is satisfying all of my retro recipe
wishes, hopes and dreams alright. Let's cut into this and see what it's like
I do have to say I'm a bit concerned. I can definitely smell mayonnaise
I didn't think I would with all the other things that are going on, but I do smell it. So down in the description
You'll find the link to the original post where I found this in that blog post she talks about not tasting the mayonnaise at all
And that this dish is required at all their family holiday meals, and they've been making it for three generations
So they love it so perhaps the mayonnaise can be excused let's find out
Whoo
It's definitely not as jelly as I expected you have to kind of use a sawing motion
There is pineapple and a good amount of cherries in there so
Oooh boy
Alright here's my plate of seven up salad! Alright. Let's get a bite with everything. Happy holidays! itadakimasu
Let me try a bite without the cherry
Yeah, it's actually not bad not bad at all I mean
certainly not delicious
In my opinion, but it's not bad if I can divorce
the idea that there's mayonnaise in here
Then I'm okay with it. In terms of a dessert idea it kind of reminds me of soft-serve ice cream
Kind of soft and level of sweetness about the same a little bit of vanilla flavor
But this has got some lemon-lime things going on because we have the 7up and the lime jell-o
But texturally it's a little bit different because you've got the crushed pineapple in there, so it does require a little bit of chewing
Yeah, so in that sense it's actually not bad
You really don't taste the mayonnaise, but since I made it, and I know that it's in there
I really have to try hard to ignore the fact that I know that it's in there. It has a little bit of salt to
It and some added richness. I actually don't taste the vinegar although
I do smell it. It does leave a lime jell-o aftertaste that artificial lime flavor along with that distinctive gelatin flavor
Which is a little bit odd, but there's my lime jello in there, so I shouldn't be surprised. In terms of flavor
I don't like the inclusion of the maraschino cherries. I don't like the flavor nor the texture, but in terms of color I
Think it's great. It's really a festive really appropriate for the holidays
So there you have it 7-up salad if you're a fan of ambrosias or those molded jello desserts with whipped cream
I think you're probably really like this or if you're hosting a retro dinner party
I think this would be amazing to serve because it has all the signature
Qualities of a good retro dessert it's molded it contains jello it contains mayonnaise
Amazing. Alright! Thank you guys so much for tuning in I hope you guys enjoyed that one
I hope you guys learned something be sure to share this video with your friends
Follow me on social media, so you can see what videos I'm up to and yeah have a happy holidays
And I shall see you in my next video - take care
