ingredients
- 709.77 ml boiling water
- 85.04 g package Jello gelatin, any red flavor

directions
- Stir 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of gelatin in separate medium bowls at least 2 minutes, until dissolved.
- Stir 3/4 cup of the cold water into the red gelatin.
- Pour into 9-inch square pan.
- Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until set but not firm to the touch (gelatin should still stick to the finger when touched).
- Meanwhile, stir lemon gelatin gradually into cream cheese in large bowl with whisk until smooth.
- (I use the blender for this step, because I don't like lumpy Jello).

- Refrigerate about 45 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
- Stir in whipped topping and mayonnaise.
- Spoon over red gelatin layer in pan.
- Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set, but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger and should mound).

- Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).
- Spoon over lemon gelatin mixture in pan.
- Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

Hi everybody,
I’ve been using “Zaar” website for the last year but ready to commit myself to adding my two cents worth (including some photos). I live with my DH and two great kids and one crazy dog in the foothills of Colorado. We have a great view with lots deer and red rocks. I come from a food-loving family, including my nearby sister who is willing to discuss "what's for dinner" first thing in the morning! I’ve loved cooking every since I was a teenager. I don’t work so I have lots of time to cook my latest craving. I love to try and duplicate dishes I enjoy from restaurants. I have a lot of cookbooks, but now use mostly “Zaar” recipes and from “Cooks Illustrated.” I love reading cookbooks (library) and like the old classics from Betty Crocker to backs of food labels. I love to research lots of recipes before I decide which one to make.
