Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) orange gelatin
4-1/2 cups boiling water, divided
1 package (3 ounces) lime gelatin
1 package (3 ounces) raspberry gelatin
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup lemon juice
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve orange gelatin in 1-1/2 cups boiling water. Pour into an 8-in. square dish coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate until set. Repeat with lime gelatin and raspberry gelatin, placing each in a separate 8-in. square dish.
In a saucepan, combine unflavored gelatin and cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Add lemon juice. Heat over low heat, stirring until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from the heat; cool.
In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar; stir in butter. Reserve 1/2 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish coated with cooking spray; set aside.
Cut the orange, lime and raspberry gelatins into 1-in. cubes. In a large bowl, beat cream until stiff. Fold in unflavored gelatin mixture, then fold in flavored gelatin cubes. Transfer to prepared dish. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Yield: 12-15 servings.

Excellent 5 star recipe! I sprayed a 9" springform pan with cooking oil and then pressed the graham cracker crumb mixture into the bottom. I added one tablespoon of sugar and about 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the whipping cream. I arranged several pieces of the jello on the top. Made a beautiful presentation! Everyone loved it! Will make again!
