Red, White and Blue Gelatin Parfait
You’ll need:
2 (3) ounce packages red gelatin
2 (3) ounce packages blue gelatin
1 (8) ounce tub whipped cream OR aerosol whipped cream
8-10 plastic cups or glasses
Red, white and blue sprinkles (optional)
Steps:
1. Prepare gelatin according to package directions.
2. Refrigerate in 8 inch square baking pans until firm (about 4 hours).
3. Cut red gelatin into circles using glasses (like a cookie cutter) and layer on the bottom of the glass.
4. Add a layer of whipped cream.
5. Repeat Step 3 with blue gelatin.
6. Add a dollop of whipped cream to the top along with sprinkles if you choose…then serve with a spoon and enjoy! This should make around 8 to 10 servings, depending on the amount of gelatin you use in each layer.
