Gelatin Parfaits
Here's a quick, airy dessert so versatile, you can whip it up for almost any season or holiday-just by varying the colors of gelatin you use, says Joyce Thompson of Bellingham, Washington. We filled this seasonal parfait with all the colors of the falling leaves. Pretty presentation for an autumn party!6 ServingsPrep: 15 min. + chilling
