My mother made this special torte for all our holiday dinners when I was young. I love the colorful stained-glass look of the Jell-O cubes and the dainty ladyfingers in this elegant dessert. I prepare this treat often for my niece, Mollie. It's one of her favorites. -Kimberly Adams, Falmouth, Kentucky

Ingredients

1 package (3 ounces) cherry gelatin
3 cups boiling water, divided
2 cups cold water, divided
1 package (3 ounces) lime gelatin
1 package (3 ounces) orange gelatin
1 cup pineapple juice
1 package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin
1/4 cup sugar
36 ladyfingers
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions

In a small bowl, dissolve cherry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; stir in 1/2 cup cold water. Pour into a 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan coated with cooking spray. Repeat with lime and orange gelatin, using two more loaf pans. Refrigerate until firm, about 1-1/2 hours.
In a small saucepan, bring pineapple juice to a boil. Stir in lemon gelatin and sugar until dissolved. Stir in remaining cold water. Refrigerate until syrupy, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, line the sides and bottom of a 9-in. springform pan with ladyfingers; set aside.
Cut cherry, lime and orange gelatin into 1/2-in. cubes. Pour lemon gelatin mixture into a large bowl; fold in whipped topping. Gently fold in gelatin cubes. Pour into prepared pan. Refrigerate until set. Garnish with citrus and mint if desired. Yield: 10-12 servings.

Love this recipe. I usually make in the summer at the campground. So easy to prepare and everyone has room for Jello.

This is in response to a preview comment. You make this in a 9in springform pan as it says in the directions. They are easy to find in almost any store.

What kind of pan do you put this in?
