Jelly Dominates 1960 Desserts

Merely looking at this photo can make anyone hungry. But don’t be fooled; this is actually the cover of rock band Allister’s album titled Guilty Pleasures, released in 2006. With this cover, however, we can’t help but wonder about the popular desserts back in the ’60s.

That decade saw the rise of anything with jelly, including the Whip n’ Chill from Jell-O. It was marketed as a box of a mix that resulted in a light pudding-like dessert. The Broken Glass Cake, which got its name from its look, also grew famous. The jelly and whipped cream sweet dish is still served nowadays.
