Christmas Gelatin Dessert
2 packages (3 oz each) lime gelatin
6 cups boiling water, divided
2 packages (3 oz each) cherry gelatin
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup cold water
1 1/2 cups white grape juice
1 carton (12 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
In a large bowl, dissolve lime gelatin in 3 cups boiling water. Pour into an 8 inch square dish coated with cooking spray. In a different bowl, combine the cherry gelatin with the remaining boiling water until dissolved. Pour into another 8 inch square dish coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate both dishes until gelatin is very firm. I let it set overnight.
Next day: sprinkle unflavored gelatin over cold water and let stand 1 minute. In a small saucepan, bring grape juice to a boil; stir in softened unflavored gelatin and stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Pour into a large bowl; refrigerate for 45 minutes (slightly thickened). Gently fold in 2 cups whipped topping.
Cut green gelatin into 1/2 inch cubes and red gelatin into 1 inch cubes. Place 2 cups whipped topping mixture into a large bowl; fold in green gelatin cubes. Spread into a 9 X 13 inch dish coated with cooking spray. I used a glass baking dish. Fold red gelatin cubes into the remaining whipped topping mixture; spread over the green gelatin layer. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set.
Top with the rest of the whipped topping.
Cut into squares. Yield: 12-15 servings.
