Preparation

Layer the Cream

  2. Add red food coloring to the remaining cream and spread it on top of the white layer.
Prepare and Pour Jello
  1. Dissolve raspberry jello in 2 cups of boiling water and allow to cool to room temperature.
  2. Pour the cooled jello over the cream layers in the baking dish.
Chill
  1. Place in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours to set.

Notes

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to three days. Ensure the gelatin mixture cools completely before combining with the cream for the best texture. Experiment with different jello flavors as desired.
