30 10 40

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 cups reduced-fat graham cracker crumbs (about 8 whole crackers)
  • 7 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 5 tablespoons reduced-fat butter, melted
  • 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free orange gelatin
  • 4-1/2 cups boiling water, divided
  • 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free lime gelatin
  • 1 package (.3 ounce) sugar-free strawberry gelatin
  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cracker crumbs, 5 tablespoons sugar and butter; press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Chill.
  • In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice and remaining sugar. Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over juice mixture; let stand for 1 minute. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is completely dissolved. Transfer to a large bowl; cool.
  • Dissolve orange gelatin in 1-1/2 cups boiling water; pour into an 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until firm. Repeat with lime and strawberry gelatins and remaining boiling water, using additional loaf pans.
  • Gently fold whipped topping into pineapple juice mixture; cover and refrigerate. Cut flavored gelatins into 1-in. cubes; gently fold into whipped topping mixture. Spoon over crust. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Yield: 15 servings.
