This clever dessert really looks like stained glass when eating it.

Ingredients

  • 1 package lemon or orange jello
  • 1 package lime jello
  • 1 package cherry, raspberry, or strawberry jello
  • Filling:
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin
  • 1/4 C. cold water
  • 1 C. hot pineapple juice
  • 2 C. whipping cream
  • 1/2 C. sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • Crust:
  • 2 dozen graham crackers
  • 1/2 C. soft margarine
  • 1/2 C. sugar

Directions

For Jello: Make the three kinds of jello, dissolving each in 1 and 1/2 C. hot water. Set into separate square or cake pans for thin layer of jello and chill until firm, or overnight. For Crust: Crush graham crackers. Mix with butter and sugar. Line a spring-form pan or pie dish with mixture. Set aside some of the crumb mixture, this will later be used as a topping. Place the crumb base in the fridge so that it starts to harden.

For Filling: Soften unflavored gelatin in cold water, then dissolve in hot pineapple juice. Whip cream, adding sugar and vanilla when almost whipped, while pineapple-gelatin mixture is cooling. When cool, fold into whipped cream.Cut flavored jello into small 1/2 inch cubes; fold into filling. Pour into pan over crust and sprinkle with remaining crust mixture. Chill six to eight hours or overnight.
