Tip

Carefully Add Layers

When making a layered gelatin salad, it's helpful to gently spoon (rather than pour) each layer onto the previous layer of gelatin so it doesn't break through the other layers. —Janet Biersach, Mauston, Wisconsin

Make sure to let the raspberry jello cool a little (15-20 minutes) before spooning over cream layer. I had a few white spots in the raspberry layer because the jello was too hot. Still pretty and great tasting!

I made this for a July 4th celebration and it looked just like the photo and was delicious. I'll definately make again.

I have made this several times and it is very good. I do cut the white layer in half as my family likes it better that way.
