Creamy Gelatin Layered Squares * All phases

luv2bike · #1 07-29-2006

I got this recipe from the Kraft SBD web site. http://www.kraftfoods.com/South_Beach_Diet

Hmmm, I think I'd go a little lighter on the Cool Whip and not put the extra dollop on top. They obviously don't know that there's a limit on it of 2 T. per serving

Eat this at your own risk!

I've made a version of this that is similar but much easier to make...

Basically, prepare any flavour of Jello using the quick-set method and stir in a certain quantity of Cool Whip (I think it was 1 cup).

Pour into dessert glasses and chill. As the mixture chills, it was separate on its own, with the gelatin part on the bottom and the foamy, flavoured part on top.

I've made this in several flavours, one of my favs is lime presented in martini glasses with a teensie dollop of cool whip, 1 mint leaf and a strip of lemon zest for garnish. Very pretty, elegant presentation of an otherwise humble (but allowable!) dessert.
