Magic Layer Jello Dessert
"I remember being able to buy this type of dessert mix in the supermarket years ago. I don't know if it's still available, but if not, you can now make it from scratch! It is not vegan cause gelatin is not vegan!"

This was a blast from the past! It has been years since I had this. Thanks so much for posting it. Follow the directions as written and you can't miss. I did substitute fresh sweetened whipped cream for the non-dairy whipped topping. -
Awesome recipe! Made it with strawberry daiquiri jello mix and dream whip. Also just whipped it by hand and it turned out wonderful for a light summertime dessert!!

Definitely a blast form the past! I actually had better luck with it separating into it's individual layers when I whipped it by hand. I very well could have blended it toooo long with the blender and whipped the layers right out of it *LOL* Hard to get a photo of it , but that was the best one I could come up with! Glad this recipe was posted!! I have a "new" old dessert! :) -
Just like I remembered!! This was quick and easy. I used the Non-Dairy Whipped topping since I'm not allow dairy right now. Tasted fruity and creamy. I will be making this again. Next time I might try putting a little fruit in the bottom of the glass. -
My family loves this! Perfect for the summer, as it's light, fluffy and refreshing. Thanks for bringing back an old favorite! -

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
