    Red, White & Blue Jell-O Ice Cubes (They Don't Melt!!)

    Jump to Recipe

    Fill a glass with these Red, White & Blue Jell-O Ice Cubes and you've got the coolest drinks for your Memorial Day and 4th of July picnics and parties! These fun frozen cubes are colorful, tasty and they don't melt!

    Red, white & blue Jello Ice Cubes are SO cool - they keep drinks cold and don't melt! Perfect for Memorial Day and July 4th!

    So, I saw this recipe for Jell-O Popsicles at Poofy Cheeks a few years ago. Frozen Jell-O? That doesn't melt? Is that too good to be true?

    NOPE! It's genius!

    With Memorial Day right around the corner and the 4th of July coming up, too, I thought it would be fun to tweak this idea a little to make these awesome Red, White & Blue Jell-O Ice Cubes!

    Red, White & Blue Jell-O Ice Cubes

    Red, white & blue Jello Ice Cubes are SO cool - they keep drinks cold and don't melt! Perfect for Memorial Day and July 4th!

    These are soooo simple. In fact, there are only two ingredients: Jell-O and water. Both of which are pretty important.

    Let's talk Jell-O. I used berry blue and strawberry Jell-O and I found this Frozen themed Summer berry punch gelatin at my local Walmart. It is perfectly clear and totally perfect for the "white" Jello ice cubes.

    Jell-o and water are all you need to make these fun Red, White & Blue Jello Ice Cubes!

    Now the water. I actually use bottled water to make my Jell-O. That means there is no chemically taste from treated tap water and no mineral/sulfur taste from well water. It's a little splurge but I think it makes the Jell-O taste so much better!

    Once you mix up your Jell-O (see my recipe below on how I reduced the water a little), just fill up your silicone molds and pop in the freezer. My Jell-O ice cubes were in the freezer for about 4 hours and were frozen.

    Use flexible silicone molds to make it easier to pop the Red White & Blue Jello Ice Cubes out!

    See the little frozen Jell-O crystals?

    How cool! Red White & Blue Jello Ice Cubes! And they don't melt!

    Flexible silicone ice cube trays or molds make it much easier to coax the frozen Jell-O ice cubes out. You can literally push the mold nearly inside out and the cubes come right out. I bought my ice cube trays at IKEA, but I've seen them in the dollar store, in Walmart, Target, other large retailers and on Amazon. <<---- That is an affiliate link, so any Amazon purchase you make helps support Shaken Together. Thank you, thank you!

    Once they're frozen, just pop the Jello Ice Cubes out of the molds and fill a glass!

    When you are ready to serve, fill a glass with several of each brightly colored ice cubes.

    LOVE the bright colors of these Red White & Blue Jello Ice Cubes!

    Add lemon lime soda or even ice cold water and sip away!

    Red, White & Blue Jello Ice Cubes - they don't melt, keep drinks cold and kids love them!

    You can use these in colored juices, sports drinks, lemonade or other sodas, but clear liquids make the colors pop!

    Friends and family will love these colorful no-melt Red White & Blue Jello Ice Cubes!
