Silver Cloud Standby Dessert

If you’re like me, you do have a sweet tooth. If you’re like me, you do need to save money. I like to make this showstopper dessert to serve at parties, but more importantly to put aside in the refrigerator and eat for desserts, for snacks, for whenever. It’s delicious. It’s completely legal on the diet. And it’s glamorous to look at.

Seven Layer Jello Dessert

4 (3 ounce) packages sugar-free Jello (each a DIFFERENT color, I usually use red, green, orange and yellow) .
4 cups boiling water
2 1/4 cups cold water
1 pint sour cream
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes plain Knox’s gelatin
2 cups cream
3-4 packets sugar substitute (to taste)
2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions

Dissolve 1 package Jello in 1 cup boiling water; add 1/2 cup cold water. Pour into a 9x12x2 inch pan and put into the refrigerator to set until firm.

Bring 2 cups of cream to a boil, mix in sugar substitute. Dissolve 2 envelopes of Knox gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water and add to mixture; add 2 cups sour cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla until blended.

When mixture is fairly cool, pour 1-1/2 cups on top of first Jello layer; return pan to refrigerator until white layer is firm and completely set.

Mix next package of Jello as indicated in step 1; pour onto completely set white layer; return to refrigerator and allow to set completely.

Again add 1-1/2 cups white mixture and return to refrigerator and allow to set completely.

Mix third package of Jello as indicated in step 1; pour onto completely set white layer; return to refrigerator and allow to set completely.

Add remaining white mixture; return to refrigerator and allow to set completely.

Mix the last package of Jello as indicated in step 1 and pour onto completely set white layer; return to refrigerator and allow to set until firm. Preferably, overnight.

Cut into domino sized pieces and fan out on a serving plate.
