EVELYN'S TWO-LAYER CREAMY JELLO DESSERT

Steps:

• 1. DIRECTIONS for bottom layer: Put the lemon Jello in a lg mixing bowl, pour in 1C of hot water - mix until no granules show on the spoon
• 2. Pour the pineapple into mixing bowl (juice and all) with Jello
• 3. Pour in the cream, and cottage cheese, stirring until mixed well (Note: The cottage cheese is one of my "improvements" -- Mom used cream cheese but it takes quite a while to soften and mix that in -- the cottage cheese gives it the same dairy cream cheesy taste with a whole lot less work.)
• 4. Note: if you don't like the "lumpy-ness" of cottage cheese, you can run the cc through a blender or food processor first -- then add it to the recipe. That way it will retain it's flavor and ease of use, but be a bit more creamy in texture -- just an idea!
• 5. Pour into oblong 9x14 glass baking dish, place in the refrigerator until it gels (about 2 hours)
• 6. DIRECTIONS for top layer: Place raspberry Jello in a lg mixing bowl, add 1C of hot water - mix until no granules show on the spoon
• 7. Add 1C cold water
• 8. Open the can of pie cherries and mix into Jello. (Alternative: If using frozen raspberries, no need to thaw, dump them in; the hot water from the Jello will thaw them - add 1C of cold water or juice and stir) -- refrigerate
• 9. When the raspberry jello mixture is mostly set up (chilled at least 1hr)-- it is not solid yet, but kind of "holds together" when stirred -- (my mother's exact instructions were: "When the Jello is able to hold a hat" -- Don't you just love it?!!)
• 10. Then gently spoon-layer the nearly (softly) gelled raspberry/cherry layer on top of the completely gelled bottom lemon layer which is already in the pan
• 11. Sprinkle with the nuts, put back in the refrigerator, and chill until completely set up - abt. two hours.
• 12. Variation: I also like it made over a graham cracker crust - so I buy three of the eight-inch prepared graham cracker crusts and make, as I call them, "Parfait Pies." The prepared crusts come with plastic covers which makes them easy to transport to a church function or a friend's house. (You have to be careful about the timing - if the raspberry top layer is too stiff, you won't have enough to complete the third pie and if it is too runny, its gets messy.)

LAYERED ICE CREAM JELLO RECIPE

Steps:

• You can use any flavors of any Jello you like, it same process, I did Red, White, & Blue for the holiday. First Bring 1 1/4 cup of water to a boil. Once it boiling time to mix the first layer. I choose to use a 2 cup measuring cup so easier to pour in the layers and not make a mess. Empty the Jello into the cup, add the hot water. then add 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. Mix it up till the ice cream is all melted. Then pour the first layer into a 9×13 glass pan. Let it set up in the fridge, 30 minutes if you want layers, 20 if you like tie dyed.
• Next layer, do the same thing, bring 1 1/4 cup of water to a boil. Add the island pineapple, I choose this flavor because almost clear in coloring. To be honest did not feel like playing with unflavored gelatin. Anyway, add the Jello to the cup, add the boiling water, and 1 cup of the vanilla ice cream, mix until the ice cream is melted.
• Take the Jello layer out the fridge. You can see what I was talking about see how after 20 minutes the white layer was going to bottom and top. The middle started to bubble up. Put the Jello back in the fridge, 20 minutes if you want to do the tied dye effect or 30 if you want solid layers.
• Last layer of this red white and blue. If you want more layers you just do 1 1/4 cup boil water, Jello, and 1 cup of vanilla ice cream, mix till the ice cream melts.
• Pour that final layer, Let set up about 30 minutes in the fridge.
• Cut it up and ENJOY!
