When I was growing up, we would have Jello 1-2-3 (as in ONE, TWO, THREE not one hundred and twenty three).  It came in a package similar to Jello, but with a special “mystery” ingredient, I suppose, that made it set in 3 layers.  It was a family favorite, but alas they quit selling it. 

Flash forward to a few days ago.  I pulled a package of jello out to make my regular finger jello the kids love, when low and behold, a recipe for Jello 123!  So… we gave it a try!  It turned out as Jello 1-2-(maybe 3?)  It wasn’t the original third layer, that was essentially regular jello, back in the day.  But it kinda sort of had a 3rd layer if you looked really closely.  That didn’t bother me much since the middle layer is really my favorite layer anyway!

Here is the recipe if you want to give it a try.

Jello 1-2-3
3/4 boiling water
1 pkg. Sugar-Free Gelatin
Ice Cubes
1/2 c. cold water
1/2 cup thawed Cool Whip Lite

Add Boiling water to gelatin mix – stir 2 minutes – or until completely dissolved.  Pour into blender.  Add enough ice to the 1/2 c. cold water to measure 1 1/4 c.  Add to blender.  Blend 30 seconds.  Add Cool Whip – Blend until smooth.  Pour into 4 dessert dishes.  Refrigerate until firm. 

If you make it, let me know if you get 3 layers or not!
