Jell O Strawberry Parfaits Recipes

Steps:

• Add boiling water to gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add ice; stir until gelatin is slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice.
• Lean 4 parfait glasses, at an angle, against sides of muffin pan cups. Reserve 4 strawberries for garnish. Slice remaining berries; stir into gelatin. Spoon into tilted glasses. Refrigerate 2 hours or until gelatin is firm.
• Top with COOL WHIP and reserved berries before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk gelatin together with 1 cup boiling water until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes; whisk in 3/4 ice cold water. Chill just until slightly thickened. (Don't let it congeal.) Set aside 1/3 cup of the thickened gelatin. Add strawberries to the remaining gelatin; spoon into 3 to 5 parfait glasses (depending on size). Chill glasses at an angle until Jell-O is set. (I tilted the glasses in loaf pans). Meanwhile, whisk together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth; whisk in the reserved 1/3 cup gelatin, then gently fold in 1 cup Cool Whip. (Refrigerate if gelatin in glasses is not quite set). Spoon cheesecake mixture into the glasses of set Jell-O. Chill glasses upright until completely set. To serve, garnish top of parfaits with a dollop of Cool Whip and sliced strawberries.
