Joys of Jello Ribbon Salad

• Serves: 8
• Prep Time: 12 hours
• Total Time: 12 hours

Ingredients

• 2 pkg (3 oz) Black Cherry or Blackberry Fusion Jell-O
• 1 can cherry or blackberry pie filling
• 1 pkg (3 oz) lemon flavored Jell-O
• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese
• 1 pkg (8 oz) whipped topping
• 2 pkg (8 oz) strawberry flavored Jell-O
• Boiling water and cold water (as indicated in the instructions)

Instructions

Make the blue Jello layer (black cherry or blackberry Jello) using 2 cups of boiling water and 1 cup of cold water (and not the standard package directions). Dissolve the powder in the boiling water, then add the cold water. Stir to mix well. Add the pie filling and pour into the serving bowl. Refrigerate until firm.

Prepare the lemon Jello using 1 cup of boiling water. Put the cream cheese into a separate bowl and beat, then add the lemon Jello. Let this mixture cool to room temperature, then fold in the whipped topping. Spread on top of the firm blue Jello layer, and return to the refrigerator to allow the white layer to get firm.

Prepare the strawberry using 2 cups boiling water, and 1 cup cold water. Like the blue layer, dissolve the Jello in the boiling water, and add the cold water. Mix well to completely dissolve the power. Cool to room temperature, and gently pour onto the white layer of the ribbon salad. Return the bowl to the refrigerator until set.
