Crown Jewel Dessert
Children will love making this elegant, yet super easy dessert to share with family and friends. Its also easy to adjust the sugar content of this to allow for special dietary needs or sensitivities.
Ingredients:
1 package (4 serving size) strawberry gelatin dessert (e.g. Jell-O brand gelatin)
1 package (4 serving size) lime gelatin dessert (e.g. Jell-O gelatin)
1 package (4 serving size) strawberry-kiwi gelatin dessert (e.g., Jell-O gelatin)
3 cups of boiling water
1 1/2 cups cold water
1 package "bakery style" lady finger cookies (4.4 oz. size)
2 cups thawed whipped topping (e.g. Cool Whip is one brand)
Directions:
1. Prepare each package of gelatin desserts separately using package directions, reducing cold water to 1/2 cup for each. Pour each into an eight inch square pan. Chill the strawberry gelatin and the lime gelatin until set, approximately one hour. Chill the strawberry-kiwi gelatin until slightly thickened.
2. Next, trim length of one end of each lady finger to fit pan. Line the side of a 9-inch spring form pan.
3. Fold whipped topping into slightly thickened strawberry-kiwi gelatin.
4. Cut the strawberry gelatin and lime gelatin into one-inch cubes. Gently fold these cubes into the whipped topping mixture, being careful not to break the cubes up too much.
5. Carefully spoon the final mixture into the lady finger lined spring form pan. Chill until firm. This will take about 4 hours, or you can let it set overnight.
