Berry Cream Jell-O Dessert

Erin and I whipped this up for a potluck dinner recently. It's easy to make and a tasty, somewhat healthful dessert. Note that it should be prepared one day ahead of time to give it time to set. This recipe is from Taste of Home magazine.
  • 1 pkg (3 oz) strawberry gelatin
  • 1 pkg (3 oz) raspberry gelatin
  • 2 c. boiling water
  • 2 c. cold water
  • 1 carton (8 oz) strawberry yogurt
  • 1 carton (8 oz) raspberry yogurt
  • 2 c. sliced fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries
  • 1 carton (12 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • Additional fresh strawberries or raspberries, optional

In a large bowl, dissolve strawberry and raspberry gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water and strawberry and raspberry yogurt until blended. Chill until syrupy, about 1 hour.

Fold in strawberries and whipped topping. Spoon into individual dishes or pour entire contents into large serving dish (depending on how fancy you want to be). Chill until firm, about 4 hours. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.

Yield: 16 servings.
Nutritional analysis: One ¾ cup serving (prepared with sugar-free gelatin, reduced fat yogurt and reduced fat whipped topping; calculated without garnish). Equals 95 calories, 3 g fat (3 g saturated fat).
