JELL-O PIZZAS

What a fun cool dessert for kids on a hot day or an after school snack. (I can't believe kids are already heading back -to-school!)

2 pkgs (4-serving size) JELL-O gelatin dessert (grape is pictured but any flavor may be used)
2 cups boiling water
1 cup cold water
Frozen whipped topping, thawed
Assortment of small fresh fruit* for topping

Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, stirring to dissolve completely, about two minutes. Stir in the cold water. Pour gelatin into a 13-x-9-inch pan. Refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.

To make the pizzas, pour about 4-inches of warm, not hot, water in sink. Dip pan briefly in the warm water, being careful not to get water on the gelatin. Using the rim of a large glass or a large round cookie cutter, cut out the circles. Lift carefully from the pan to serving plates.

Spoon whipped topping over the circles and decorate with the pieces of fresh fruit.

*Suggestions include white and red grapes, blueberries, raspberries, mandarin orange slices cut in half, etc.

Note: Layer the leftover pieces of Jell-O in parfait glasses with whipped topping.

THE BEAUTY OF THIS RECIPE IS THAT YOU CAN USE SUGAR-FREE JELL-O TO MAKE A FUN DIABETIC DESSERT FOR DIABETIC CHILDREN.
