Prep: 30 minutes
Ingredients
4 cups boiling water
2 packages 4-serving size Jell-O Berry Blue Gelatin
2 packages 4-serving size Jell-O Brand Gelatin, any red flavor
3 cups ice-cold water, divided
1 package 4-serving size Jell-O Lemon Gelatin
1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed
Directions
Stir 1-1/2 cups boiling water each into blue and red gelatin in separate bowls at least 2 minutes until dissolved.
Stir 1-1/2 cups ice-cold water into each bowl. Spray 10-cup Flag Mold with no-stick cooking spray; place on cookie sheets. Pour red gelatin into mold. Refrigerate 45 minutes until set but not firm. Refrigerate blue gelatin in bowl 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir remaining 1 cup boiling into Lemon gelatin in bowl for at least 2 minutes until dissolved. Refrigerate 25 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in whipped topping with wire whisk.
Gently spread red gelatin in mold. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until set but not firm. Gently spoon thickened blue gelatin over lemon gelatin mixture in mold.
Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until firm. Unmold. Garnish with berries, if desired. Makes 16 servings. Note: Do not use fresh or frozen pineapple, kiwi, gingerroot, papaya or guava juice, because with these additions, the gelatin will not set.
Variation: Prepare in a 13 x 9-inch pan. Decorate with whipped topping and fruit to resemble flag.
