The name does not accurately describe this dessert but since it has been a family favorite for so many years I am loathe to change it. This is a light, child-friendly dessert we instituted for the children at Christmas. It is especially well-received after a heavy meal. You will be asked for seconds!
Ingredients
- 1 (3 ounce) package lime flavored Jell-O® mix
- 1 (3 ounce) package orange flavored Jell-O® mix
- 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
- 3 cups boiling water, divided
- 3 cups cold water, divided
- 1 cup canned pineapple juice
- 1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
- 2 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups chilled heavy cream
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Place lime, orange, and strawberry gelatin mixes into 3 separate 9×9-inch glass dishes.
Step 2
Pour 1 cup boiling water into each flavor of gelatin mix; stir the gelatin until dissolved.
Step 3
Pour 1 cup cold water into each flavor of gelatin, stir to combine, and refrigerate the 3 flavors of gelatin until set, at least 4 hours.
Step 4
Heat pineapple juice in a saucepan until hot but not simmering. Stir unflavored gelatin into pineapple juice until dissolved. Refrigerate pineapple juice mixture until cool and thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.
Step 5
Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and brown sugar together in a bowl. Set 1 cup of crumb mixture aside for garnish. Press remaining 2 cups crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch cake pan to make a crust.
Step 6
Pour cream into a large metal mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until the cream is fluffy and forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes. Slowly beat sugar into whipped cream, 1 or 2 tablespoons at a time; beat in vanilla extract.
Step 7
Cut the different flavors of gelatin into cubes. Use a thin spatula to lift the cubes away from the bottom of the dish and loosen them.
Step 8
Very gently fold the thickened pineapple juice and gelatin cubes into the whipped cream mixture until thoroughly combined. Spoon into the graham cracker crust.
Step 9
Sprinkle the cake with reserved graham cracker crumb mixture.
Step 10
Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours to overnight.
