Easy Holiday Jello Parfaits Recipe

These jello parfaits consist of layers of red and green gelatin, combined with whipped cream and fresh fruit for added flavor and texture. The recipe takes about 2 hours to prepare and chill, serving approximately 6 people.

Ingredients

1 package (3 oz) red gelatin (strawberry or cherry flavor)
1 package (3 oz) green gelatin (lime flavor)
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh fruit for layering (such as strawberries, kiwi, or blueberries)
Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Red Gelatin: In a bowl, dissolve the red gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour into serving glasses, filling them halfway. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
Prepare the Green Gelatin: In another bowl, dissolve the green gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water. Once the red layer is set, carefully pour the green gelatin over it. Return to the refrigerator and chill until fully set, about 1 hour.
Make the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
Assemble the Parfaits: Once the green layer is set, add a layer of whipped cream, followed by a layer of fresh fruit. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.
Garnish and Serve: Top with additional whipped cream and mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled.
