Are you still looking for that perfect something to bring to the 4th of July
cookout on Saturday? Well, look no further. This Jello is fun, festive, easy
to transport and eat, a sure-fire kid pleaser, and will make the adults wax
nostalgic about the good old days of Jello Jigglers. This impressive-looking
Jello dessert couldn’t be easier to make and is a simple variation of the
classic “rainbow Jello” layered dessert. You know, the one with all the
colors of the rainbow with layers of white in between? I knew you’d remember ![]()
Make Jello Parfait or Plain Jello in 3 colors of red, white and blue. Layer and refrigerate overnight. Cut with cookie cutters next day, chill again on cookie sheets. Alternatively you can buy Jello/Parfait from the supermarket and cut out star shapes.


Use a cookie cutter to cut the Jello into the shape of stars. This was fun to make and I think it’s a great presentation for a holiday picnic. While not in the upper echelon of gourmet desserts, I think this is a great one to keep in your back pocket. You could switch up colors to reflect school graduation, various sports teams, company logos – anything at all! And if you have some fun cookie cutters in your stash, the possibilities are truly endless.
