Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix lemon jello, sugar, and crushed pineapple (undrained).
- Cook rice with water until tender.
- While hot, mix the cooked rice with the jello mixture.
- Thoroughly combine and refrigerate until set.
- Whip the whipping cream until thick and fold into the set jello mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider substituting half of the whipping cream with Greek yogurt. If you're looking for a different flavor, try using orange jello instead of lemon. Make sure to let the rice cool slightly before mixing it with the jello mixture to avoid clumping. This dish can be prepared a day in advance for improved flavor and texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Rice Galare chilled as a delightful dessert after a light meal. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a scoop of sorbet for a refreshing touch. For added texture, sprinkle some crushed nuts or miniature marshmallows on top before serving. This dish is a great addition to potlucks or family gatherings.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If the mixture becomes too firm, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change when thawed.
