Told my 70-year-old mother about this. She knew what it was right away & said she’d eaten it when she was young. She also thought it was surprisingly delicious.
When you use floppy molds putting a sheet pad or a plate the next time and your strawberries should stay. You so adorable. ❤ I hope yall liked it it sounds good to me . I love cooking vintage recipes too.
That was a proper use of gelatin in a dessert; to provide a firmer, smoother texture. Wouldn't mind trying that myself. Much better than the usual "salads" of cabbage and carrots suspended in lime jello--or the only marginally better fruit cocktail in cherry jello. Honestly, the mid-century cookbooks had an unhealthy obsession with jello.
Haha I’m pretty sure it’s passed down from Victorian and Edwardian times when making food look attractive was of the utmost importance. Victorians would put ANYTHING in a mold.
Pretty sure that the obsession with gelatin was because of the crazy new home invention, the refrigerator. Most just had a standard icebox, which wasn't really cold enough for such a thing. Those who could afford a refrigerator would show off their new beautiful addition to the kitchen with the use of making everything in jello to make everyone in the social circle jealous/impressed with the ability to buy a refrigerator with the family's income.
You plated it beautifully. I think it didn't set because you did not prepare the gelatine directly on the stove. Its been at least 30 years since I made that but if I remember correctly... Love your kitchen and Fridge and dress.
That's probably true! The recipe said to sprinkle it over cold milk and then stir over hot water till it melted, but I'm thinking it needed to be hotter.
We had cottage cheese in jello at most of our big family dinners when I was growing up. I think we kept doing it at least until I was in college, maybe after. Ours wasn't solid white, and there were several different recipes I can recall my mom's family making over the years, but the most iconic was orange with cottage cheese and canned mandarin orange wedges? We were particularly likely to have that at Easter. I think we also went through a phase where we made the trendy sparkling jello that was advertised in... the 90s? I think? Then there came a point where more of my relatives started avoiding sugar or took up a special diet, and jello salads with dinner fell out of favor. Honestly, I don't know the recipe for the Moffatt jello, but I would consider making it again for myself someday. It was good, and I kind of miss it now!
I love your kitchen! Reminds me of my Nannie's--and she loved strawberries so much she embroidered/patched them on her tea towels and aprons and named her dog "Strawberry". I recognize those same cooking pots!
I have the same mixer that my husband bought me for 40 dollars and it’s my favorite vintage cook items I own, it came with both bowls for it as well as the juicer that attaches to the top. I do all of my holiday baking with it and I have a huge family for cookie deliveries. Loved the video and I smiled when I seen the mixer, great job.
Love this Kristina! I have a recipe for guacamole in gelatine, also using a mold. I’ve been meaning to try the recipe. Love your content, have a great day!
Loving this video, the format, the rhythm, the content, the lightness/freshness of it because of your humour and genuineness. I expected the cake to be terrible and be a fail by how it sounded, I mean... gelatine cottage cheese cake 😆 but you did amazing, it looks great and I’m sure tasted better than what’s on paper!
I actually made cour à la crème in high school for a French class project! My recipe was slightly different, and I’m pretty sure I ended up freezing mine as well. I hadn’t thought about them in a long time. Definitely looking forward to more vintage cooking! And I’m only a lot jelly of your new fridge!
My family has a holiday jello made with, lime and lemon jello, crushed walnuts, canned pineapple pieces, cream cheese and cottage cheese. It’s chunky and not blended. It grossed me out as a kid, but now I find it delicious. 🤷♀️
lol this sounds like what my grandma used to make. I think it was cottage cheese, whipped cream, jello squares, pineapple, and... mandarin oranges maybe? I HATED it as a kid.
I told aj about this and he was like “I’d eat that” he loves cottage cheese though. 🤣 I watched this while making him valentines lunch. Don’t you dare make a hotdog cake 🥴 love you!
I'm finally watching this too! Sounds good, actually. I like a firm jello. I wanted to try this when you made it, but we were all sick😫😫😫 So, now it's time for belated holidays!
Okay, I've gotta find this one. After watching your video featuring the potato chip promo, I found a copy and am prepping to make my first recipe from it this week. My kids promised they'd try anything made with potato chips. 😉 And, I am about to search ebay and etsy for vintage molds.
Sorry, one more hint. When slicing up strawberries and macerating them in sugar so they form that delicious, sweet, slightly thick sauce do this. Microwave one quarter cup of strawberry jam for a few seconds to loosen it up. Stir it til cool...then stir in your berries to coat. If necessary drain a little liquid off the berries first. It will make your berries a beautiful deep red and heighten the flavor. People will wonder where and how you find such beautiful, flavorful strawberries. And you can add smile as you pass them more knowing it's a dead easy thing. ..
Hey. Local to u! Tried to buy a dress from u once but it was already sold. But still following you. Love your channel. I ho estly think I'm going to make this!
It's from Lowe's! It's a Galanz 10 cubic foot refrigerator. So, it's apartment sized which we needed because this kitchen was built in 1920 and the refrigerator space is small. But we have an extra freezer in our pantry, so it's fine that the fridge is smaller than a modern one!
It didn't set properly because the proteins in the gelatin need the boiling temp to uncoil. As they re-coil during cooling and after the boiling temp, they tighten back up and set. PS: this is why Jello became so popular. It is far more forgiving of temps, that are less than spot on, than gelatin.
....also, how wild is that 50's are 70 years ago now. Does not compute at all in my mind; 50's are 50 years back, obviously! I don't understand how we're in the third decade of the 21st century tbh.
I KNOW. Honestly my brain stopped recognizing the years passing in like 2010 so anytime I realize something new about how long ago things were I’m like 🙀 Like, kids born in 2000 can LEGALLY DRINK IN THE US NOW
Told my 70-year-old mother about this. She knew what it was right away & said she’d eaten it when she was young. She also thought it was surprisingly delicious.
Ah I love that! Honestly take away the gelatin part and it makes more sense to me - cottage cheese and fruit is a good combo!
I'm surprised she never made it as you were growing up. 🤔 I love it! 😍
I love your dress! Definitely going to try the recipe out. It’s sweet the babies got involved. Children are our toughest critics. 😄
Ooh let me know how you like it! I would honestly use the sauce for anything. Maybe with a little less sugar because I don’t like super sweet things!
One of the most fun things about your videos that have cooking in them is seeing your vintage cookware/bakeware! So beautiful and nostalgic
haha thank you! I love my strawberry pots!
So much fun. Nothing can go wrong when you mix cottage cheese, Jello, strawberries, etc. I'm going to make this.
Very nice. An authentic vintage recipe.
Haha yes! I love trying out old recipes, I have so many vintage cookbooks that need using!

It was actually very healthy, as it provided the collagen for heathy bones, hair, eyes, and skin.☺️
This was great! That cookbook sounds delightful 😆

Ahhh I wish mine had the juicer attachment! We found it for $25 at a garage sale. It had the two bowls with it!

Such a fun video! Cottage cheese was such a popular ingredient in so many vintage recipes!!!Approaching 6,000 subs 🎉
Thank you! yes it was - dairy was a huge part of 1950s healthy diets for sure!
And yes! So excited!
@@WithLoveKristina I'm excited for what is ahead for you...your content has always been on point 🍓🍓
I'm finally watching this too! Sounds good, actually. I like a firm jello. I wanted to try this when you made it, but we were all sick😫😫😫 So, now it's time for belated holidays!

Oh good luck! I feel like I've seen this one quite often!
Hey beautiful, this actually looked quite yummy! Xx
It was much more delicious than I expected!
Well, "cottage cheese in jello" sounds bad, but "no-bake cheesecake" seems reasonable :)
lol exactly!

Oh nooo sad! I'm sorry it had sold already but hello neighbor! Let me know what you think when you make this - the sauce is my faaavorite!
Could you tell me more about your vintage refrigerator? Brand? Catalog? Thank you! Also, thank you for sharing. I LOVE strawberries.

Love your videos!! I have heard of a tomato soup cake, that is supposed to taste good 😉 Would you be willing to try making it?
I watched a TikTok about the tomato soup cake! I might make that next!
You should make the sign aspic one! If you do yours I will make the Scorpio one. It looks awful.
lol you know we're friends when we're like "it looks terrible, let's DO IT". And like yes. Let's do it.
Linda muito capricho um beijinho do Brasil
Obrigado!
I love your dress
Thank you!
Now I’m dying to know how my husband feels about Jello...
You need to go find out, and then come back and tell me. Haha!
Your husbands shirt is killing me, so 70's
Haha yes! I made it from a 1970s bedsheet.
....also, how wild is that 50's are 70 years ago now. Does not compute at all in my mind; 50's are 50 years back, obviously! I don't understand how we're in the third decade of the 21st century tbh.
