Easy directions for making the pretty Jell-O strawberry parfait
Start with sweet, ripe strawberries.
Prepare gelatin according to the package directions. Place in the refrigerator and chill until slightly thickened. Set aside 1/3 cup.
Preparing the glasses to create the slope effect
You will need to keep the serving glasses tilted so the Jell-O will create the lovely slopped effect. The easiest way I found to keep the glasses tilted, is to place in them in a loaf pan.
Next, add the strawberries that have been hulled and sliced to the remaining gelatin; spoon into 4 to 5 pretty glasses.
Chill glasses at an angle until Jell-O is set.
Meanwhile, fold whipped topping into measured (1/3 cup) gelatin.
Stir until incorporated.
Spoon topping mixture into the glasses of set Jell-O. Chill. Garnish with additional strawberries and tiny mint leaves, if desired.

Thank you! This is just the thing for my post-wisdom teeth surgery teen, who wants to go to her team party this afternoon and can’t eat any of the things being served. 🙂
Do you know how many ounces these glasses hold??
Hi Shelby,
These are 6 oz. wine glasses. Thanks for visiting and Happy Holidays.
Kind Regards,

Could vanella pudding substitute the whipped topping that's used on the side of the jello? I am looking for a recipe that has vanella pudding with strawberry jello .That's the way we used to eat our jello, with vanilla pudding on top. Just afraid it won't come out right, with maybe the pudding seeping through?
My list is endless in the things I learn from you. This is just the prettiest dessert, and one I would not feel guilty eating. Thanks so much for sharing how it done. I would love bringing a tray those desserts to my guests. I love all that you share.
John will love this! Thank you. Drop by my blog to enter a giveaway.

Yes…elegant…that's the word I'd use too to discribe this, Lorraine…simple, yet elegant!!
Oh how elegant….and delicious I'm sure! I want to eat it right now…lol
I need lots of ideas that are calorie friendly. I think the pretty presentation helps, too.
Has my vote for the prettiest dessert in Blogland:@)
This is a keeper. I'm trying to eat more carefully, but sometimes fruit alone doesn't really work for me. It looks so pretty, too.
Such a beautiful and delicious dessert for the holiday. Catherine
