Ingredients
- 3 ounces red gelatin cherry, strawberry, or raspberry
- 3 ounces blue gelatin berry blue or blue raspberry
- 2 cups boiling water divided
- 2 cups cold water divided
- 16 ounces whipped topping (two 8-ounce containers)
- Decorations, optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or until boiling. Add the red gelatin to a medium bowl and slowly add the boiling water. Stir for 2-3 minutes or until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup of cold water.
- Evenly divide the red gelatin between serving glasses. Place in refrigerator to set, at least 2 hours.
- When the gelatin is set, proceed with the recipe.
- Repeat the steps above for preparing the blue jello. Leave the gelatin mixture in the mixing bowl and place it in the refrigerator to cool slightly (you don’t want to add warm jello to the whipped topping).
- When the blue jello is cool but not yet set, measure out 1 cup. In a large mixing bowl, place 8 ounces (1 container) of whipped topping and gently fold in the 1 cup of blue gelatin. Place the whipped topping and gelatin mixture in the refrigerator until completely cool and set (about 1 hour).
- When the gelatin and topping mixture is set, transfer it to a large disposable piping bag and place the second container of whipped topping in another bag.
- Pipe the plain whipped topping onto the red jello followed by the blue gelatin mixture with an additional dollop of plain whipped topping to finish.
- Store lightly covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Add sprinkles when ready to serve.
