Time 6h10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 cups cold water, divided
1 3-ounce package of Jell-O
1 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip

Steps:

Set aside 6 mini glass jars -- cleaned out baby food jars work great!
Boil 1 cup of the water.
In a medium, heat-proof bowl, pour in the boiling water. Add the package of Jell-O and whisk until completely dissolved.
Next, add the remaining cup of cold water and stir.
Pour some -- not all -- of the Jell-O mixture evenly among all 6 jars, filling the jar halfway, about 3 tbsp per jar.
Set the remaining Jell-O aside at room temperature and place the jars in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours until just set.
When 2 hours is up, add nearly all of the Cool Whip to the Jell-O that wasn't chilled, leaving about 6 tbsp of Cool Whip aside for topping the jars.
Pour the Jell-O mousse into the jars on top of the set Jell-O, leaving just a bit of room on the top for the remaining whipped topping to be added later.
Place the jars back in the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
When ready to serve, add the remaining Cool Whip to the tops of the jars by dolloping on with a spoon or using a piping bag.
Garnish with fresh fruit if desired and serve.

I made this about like the recipe for parfaits. Again with the jars which I think is a great idea. Take them about anywhere and not worry about them. Course you can use parfait glasses too. These are good and seem to be filling too.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 (3 ounce) boxes Jello gelatin, any flavors
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 1/2 cups cold water
2 (6 ounce) cartons yoplait thick and creamy vanilla yogurt
9 graham crackers, crushed fine

Steps:

Mix both packages of jell-o with the boiling water and stir till jell-o is disolved.
Add cold water and stir.
Refrigerate about 4 hours or until jell-o is firm.
Put half of the jell-o into mixing bowl and add 1 container of yogurt.
Set mixer on a medium -low setting and blend until blended but not creamy.
put about 2 teaspoons gramham cracker crumbs in the bottom of 6 half pint canning jars.
Followed by about 2 tablespoons jell-o mixture.
Follow with about 2 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs.
Followed by about 2 tablespoons plain jell-o.
Next 2 tablespoons of vanilla yogurt.
Repeat layers until all ingreditents are gone.
Wipe rims, add lids and refrigerate.
Really I don't think the order matters.
Just put graham crackers between each layer.

Tips:

Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give your parfaits the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using.
Don't overbeat the whipped cream: Overbeaten whipped cream will be grainy and difficult to pipe. Beat it just until it holds stiff peaks.
Layer your parfaits carefully: Start with a layer of fruit, then a layer of yogurt or pudding, and then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the parfait glass is full.
Chill the parfaits before serving: This will help them to set and make them easier to eat.
Garnish the parfaits with fresh fruit, grated chocolate, or chopped nuts: This will make them look more festive and appealing.

Conclusion:

Jell-O parfaits are a delicious and easy dessert that can be made with a variety of ingredients. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick snack. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique parfait recipes that everyone will love.
