We had a block party for Memorial Day and I brought this jello dessert. You can buy the actual mold from www.kraftfoods.com/jello/ for $3.50. I got the jello mold free for buying jello at my local grocery store, which included several recipes. If you don't have the mold, use a pan that has a 10 cup capacity. Follow directions as closely as you can as the consistency of the jello is very important. Please note that you can use (2) 4 serving size packages or (1) 8 serving size packages of jello for the red and blue layers. This will be a hit at your next holiday gathering!

20 servings (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 quart boiling water, divided
2 (3 ounce) packages jell-o brand berry blue gelatin mix
2 (3 ounce) packages jell-o brand gelatin powder, any red flavor
3 cups ice cold water, divided
1 (3 ounce) package lemon Jell-O gelatin
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip Topping, thawed

Directions

1
ADD 1-1/2 cups boiling water to dry berry blue gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir at least 2 minutes until gelatin is dissolved. Dissolve dry red gelatin mix in 1-1/2 cups boiling water in separate bowl. Stir 1-1/2 cups ice cold water into dissolved gelatin in each bowl.
2
SPRAY 10-cup flag mold with cooking spray; place on baking sheet. Pour red gelatin into mold. Refrigerate 45 minutes until set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched and should mound). Meanwhile, refrigerate berry blue gelatin in bowl for 45 minutes.
3
MEANWHILE, stir remaining 1 cup boiling water into dry lemon gelatin mix in bowl at least 2 minutes until dissolved. Refrigerate 25 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites), stirring occasionally. Stir in whipped topping with wire whisk. Gently spread over red gelatin in mold. Refrigerate 10 minutes or until set but not firm. Gently spoon thickened berry blue gelatin over lemon gelatin mixture in mold.
4
REFRIGERATE 4 hours or overnight until firm. Unmold.

I used vanilla ice cream in place of the whipped topping and it really adds depth. For other holidays or special events use other colours.

Made this for Fourth of July in my Jello flag mold and everyone loved it! Easy and very festive. Mine looked just like Marg's beautiful picture though I will warn if decorating the top with whipped cream from the can, it should be done just before serving as it will not hold up like fresh whipped cream or Cool Whip. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe! Note: For only one color of Jello in the flag mold, use 2 (8 serving size) or 4 (4 serving size packages) of any red Jello, 3 cups boiling water, 3 cups cold water. Top with blueberries for stars and Cool Whip or whipped cream for stripes.

I was a little afraid this might not work very well but it turned out lovely! It did take longer than 45 minutes for the jello to be right before I added the other layers but I imagine that was because my "ice water" wasn't as cold as it should have been. Next time I'll use more ice. I ran a knife around the edge before unmolding the salad and it slipped right out. Everyone thought it was delicious, as well as neat looking, and I even saw people taking seconds. Great recipe! I would think that if you don't have the Jello mold you might be able to make this in a 13x9-inch pan and just add the blueberries and whipped cream and it would look like a flag too.
