How to Make Chai Tea Cool Whip Gelatin Dessert

  1. Sprinkle 1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a medium saucepan. Let it bloom for 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate saucepan, combine 2 1/2 cups water and 3 chai tea bags. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the tea is strongly brewed.
  3. Remove tea bags, squeezing out excess liquid.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the bloomed gelatin and 1 cup of half-and-half (or milk) until smooth.
  5. Gradually whisk the gelatin mixture into the warm chai tea.
  6. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or Splenda to taste) and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  7. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  8. Once set, beat the chilled gelatin mixture with an electric mixer until light, fluffy, and increased in volume.
  9. Return to the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the whipped dessert to firm up slightly.
  10. Serve in individual dishes or parfait glasses. Garnish with a maraschino cherry, if desired.
