Spirits are light at holiday time around Debra Stoner's home--and so are many of the meas she serves. "I make this dessert every year at Christmas," she informs from Carlisle, Pennsylvania. "It's one of my husband's favorites. I slimmed down the recipe by using sugar-free gelatin and reduced-fat topping."

Tip

Save Crumbs for Topping Ice Cream

“Don’t discard cookie or cereal crumbs,” advises Marie R. of Bensenville, Illinois. “Use them to top pudding, gelatin and ice cream.”

I make a similiar desert for the holidays,but, I only use the lemon and cherry jello. also I dissolve 3/4 cup of miniture marshmellows with the boiling warter and cream cheese (4 oz.) If lime jellow is used I put it on top and eliminate the cherry jello. Maybe I'll try putting the lime jello on bottom and use all 3.
