Materials

  • 1 3 oz packet lime gelatin
  • 1 3 oz packet strawberry gelatin
  • 1 3 oz packet orange gelatin
  • cups boiling water divided
  • cups crushed graham crackers
  • cup white sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 8 oz carton frozen whipped topping thawed

Instructions

  • Combine lime gelatin and 1-1/2 cups boiling water; stir until gelatin is dissolved. Pour into a lightly greased 8x4-in. pan. Repeat to make the strawberry and orange gelatins in separate pans. Place in fridge for at least an hour until firm.
  • Combine the crumbs, sugar and butter. Gently press into a greased 13x9-in. dish. Chill in the fridge.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, soften unflavored gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring pineapple juice to a boil. Stir in unflavored gelatin until dissolved. Transfer to a large bowl and let sit to cool down for 20 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk whipped topping into pineapple juice mixture. When flavored gelatins are firm, carefully cut into 1/2-in. cubes. Gently fold 2/3 of the cubes into whipped topping mixture.
  • Carefully pour the mixture over the crust. Scatter the remaining gelatin cubes over the top to decorate. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
