Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 1 3 oz package red gelatin (strawberry or cherry flavor)

  • 1 cup whipped cream store-bought or homemade

Method
 

  1. Dissolve the red gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well.
  2. Pour the red gelatin mixture into clear cups, filling them about one-third full. Refrigerate for about 2 hours or until set.

  5. Carefully pour the blue gelatin over the white whipped cream layer in each cup, filling them to the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 more hours or until fully set.
