Preparation

Step 1

Prepare lime, orange and 1 package of strawberry Jello as directed on the packages, using 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water for each.

Pour each flavor into separate 8 inch square pans. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Cut into 1/2 inch cubes; measure 1 1/2 cups of each flavor. (You can use the remaining cubes for garnish if desired, or for snacking).

Stir 1 cup boiling water into remaining package of strawberry Jello in a medium bowl until dissolved completely. Stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Refrigerate 45 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).

Stir in 1/2 of the Cool Whip. Gently stir in measured gelatin cubes.

Pour into a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.

Unmold and garnish with remaining gelatin cubes and whipped topping, if desired.
