Mandarin Orange Gelatin Delight

Originally, this is the first Jell-O mold I ever tired making. It was the one that made me fall in love with Jell-O molds. And it's still one of my favorite recipes. It's from Betty Crocker's "Dinner for Two" cookbook. Of course I can never follow a recipe to the "t" so I always add an extra envelope of plain gelatin, and I threw the mandarin oranges into the Jell-O instead of serving them on the side. But still this recipe is great and you can't really go wrong. You can also try it with different flavors of Jell-O and icecream.
Enjoy!

potluck jello

Potlucks provide a great opportunity to use my giant jello mold. I rarely get to use it because it takes so much jello and I can never eat that much. This is a layered ice cream parfait mold. The top is strawberry vanilla, the middle is lemon-cream, and the bottom is key-lime. The top and middle consist of one box jello, 2 envelopes gelatin, 1 cup of water and 1 cup of icecream each. The bottom is made of 3 boxes of jello, 6 envelopes of gelatin, and 3 cups of water and 3 cups of icecream. mmmm...
