On occasion, I like to "fancy up" one of my favorite gelatin desserts with a buttery graham cracker crust and a layer of cream cheese filling. Mandarin oranges add color and pair well with the cranberry gelatin. -Margery Bryan, Moses Lake, Washington

CREAMY LAYERED CRANBERRY DESSERT (NO-BAKE)



Creamy Layered Cranberry Dessert (No-Bake) image

This is a great dessert to serve to guests for the holiday season and you can make this well in advance which is a big plus! Plan ahead this needs to chill for a minimum of 4 hours before serving. If desired sprinkle the top with sugared cranberries if desired for a nice presentation! Prep time includes the 1-1/2 hours and the 4 hour chilling times. I used Ocean Spray whole cranberry sauce for this, I'm not certain how it would work using homemade cranberry sauce. If you want a more intense fruit flavor use a large package of raspberry Jell-o and a small package of cranberry Jell-o, increase the cold water by only a couple of tablespoons.

Time 7h

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 (3 ounce) package cranberry Jell-O gelatin
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry Jell-O gelatin
1/3 cup sugar (optional)
16 ounces whole berry cranberry sauce
1 cup cold water
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (can use less)
2 (8 ounce) containers cool whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup sugar (can use less)
1/2 cup melted butter, plus
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Butter a 13 x 9-inch glass baking pan.
  • For the crust; in a bowl combine the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons melted butter; mix to combine then press lightly into the baking pan; set aside.
  • In a heat-proof bowl combine 1-1/2 cups boiling water with the cranberry and raspberry Jell-o powder and 1/3 cup sugar; mix with a spoon until no granules remain.
  • Stir in the cranberry sauce until totally combined (I used my hands for this, it is much easier than using a spoon!).
  • Stir in 1 cup cold water until completely combined.
  • Chill the mixture for about 1-1/2 to 2 hours (stirring with a spoon a few time during chilling) or until a thick jelly-like consistency, not completely set but still able to spread on top of the cream cheese mixture (chilling time will depend on how cold your fridge is).
  • While the gelatin mixture is chilling; in a bowl beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Add in the two 8-ounce containers of thawed Cool Whip and beat at low speed until combined.
  • Stir in two 8-ounce container/tub thawed Cool Whip until combined; spread over the crust in the baking dish; chill until ready to top with the gelatin mixture.
  • Spoon the semi-firm cranberry gelatin/orange mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  • Chill for minimum of 4 hours (or longer) or until firm.
  • Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip topping.
