that red, white & blue~

I made these for the Fourth Of July, but I don't wanna wait another whole year to post this simple but pretty parfait cup recipe!

 All you need is:

• a set of cool looking glasses
• a tub of Cool Whip
• a 3 oz box of Jello, your favorite red flavor
• a 3 oz box of Jello, your favorite blue flavor 

These are a little time consuming, since we're layering but I think they're worth it!

 

 

Start out by making the blue jello according to the package (since it's the bottom layer) and pouring it into your glasses. Place it in the fridge or freezer until it sets. 

 Carefully add the layer of Cool Whip, making them as even as possible. I found that spooning it into the glass and then spreading it out worked best. Once you've done that, place them in the fridge again so the Cool Whip hardens up a bit.

Make the red jello according to the package and let it cool for a bit. This is where it gets kinda tough - you don't want the red leaking through to the other layers. So pour very slowly (I poured it over the back of a spoon) and make sure it's cold enough that it won't melt the Cool Whip. Then, place them in the fridge or freezer until it sets. (Make sure you don't leave them in the freezer long enough for them to freeze like I did...they were ruined.)

Enjoy!
