Looking for a red, white and blue dessert to serve this 4th of July? Make these cute Patriotic Cupcakes! Jello Poke Cupcakes are quick and easy using boxed cake mix and 2 flavors of Jello. The colors are bright and these are the perfect Fourth of July cupcakes to serve!
Combine 1/2 cup boiling water with blue Jello in a bowl. Stir until dissolved.
In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup boiling water with red Jello. Stir until dissolved.
Using the end of a wooden spoon, poke three holes in each cupcake.
Carefully spoon Jello mixtures into the holes, trying to only pour one color into each hole.
Place cupcakes in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow Jello to soak in.
Frost with whipped topping.
Add patriotic sprinkles.
Notes
Try to only put one color of Jello into a hole. This will keep the colors pure and not mix together to create purple.Whipped cream doesn't do well in warm weather so make sure to ice them right before serving and serve them when they are to be eaten.That warm July weather could easily make them look a little droopy. You could always make some Vanilla Buttercream instead. That has a lot more flavor, but takes much more work!
