Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the strawberry gelatin mix and boiling water until the gelatin is completely dissolved. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Stir in the cold water and refrigerate the gelatin mixture until it thickens to the consistency of raw egg whites but is not fully set. (15 minutes)

03

Step

Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the thickened gelatin into the bottom of each juice can.

04

Step

Carefully center a banana round, cut side down, into the middle of each can. Gently spoon the remaining gelatin around the banana slices, filling the cans to the brim.

05

Step

Chill the cans in the refrigerator until the gelatin is firm and completely set. (2 hours)

06

Step

To serve, briefly dip each can up to the rim in hot water for a few seconds to loosen the gelatin. Invert the cans onto individual serving plates and puncture the bottom of each can to allow air to enter.

07

Step

Slowly lift the cans from the desserts. Insert a piece of red licorice string into the center of each wobbler to resemble a playful fuse.

For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a few drops of lemon juice to the gelatin mixture.
Ensure the juice cans are thoroughly cleaned and dried before use to prevent any unwanted flavors from affecting the final product.
If you don't have juice cans, small ramekins or disposable cups can be used as substitutes.
For a festive touch, garnish the serving plates with fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of edible glitter.
