Ingredients
- 3 oz berry blue jello
- 3 oz strawberry jello
- 8 oz Cool Whip
Optional Garnish
- Red White Blue Star Sprinkles
- Maraschino cherries
- fresh blueberries
- fresh strawberries
- fresh raspberries
- Whipped Cream
- whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare a place in your refrigerator where 6 cups will fit. I like to put mine on a baking sheet for easy moving.
- Prepare berry blue jello according to the package directions. I used the Speed-Set Method with ice cubes.
- Transfer jello to a cup with a spout or use a turkey baster to distribute jello evenly among 6 clear plastic cups.
- Place cups in the refrigerator for 2 hours or until set to the touch.
- Spoon Cool Whip on top of blue jello. Be sure to save some to top your cups with. Gently shake to level the whipped topping.
- Place cups in a freezer for 1 hour or until Cool Whip is hard to the touch.
- Prepare cherry jello and add it on top of the Cool Whip in all 6 cups.
- Place cups in the refrigerator for 2 hour or until set to the touch.
- If you choose, top with whipped cream and sprinkles or a cherry.

- Choose the right Jello flavors and colors to match your event.
- Place disposable cups on a cookie sheet to make jello cups so you can easily move the cups in and out of the fridge during the setting process.
- Allow each layer to set before adding the next to maintain distinct colors.
- Cool Jello before pouring into cups to make the next layer.
- Keep layers as equal and as even as possible.
- Use a measuring cup with a spout or a turkey baster to gently pour the Jello into each cup to prevent splashing or creating air bubbles.
- Garnish with whipped topping or whipped cream, fresh fruit, maraschino cherries and/or sprinkles.
