Steps:

• Stir 1 cup of the boiling water into each flavor gelatin in separate bowls at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir 1 cup of the cold water into each bowl. Pour into separate 9-inch square pans.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Cut gelatin in each pan into 1/2-inch cubes.
• Layer alternating gelatin flavors and whipped topping in 8 dessert glasses.

Steps:

• Heat 3 cups of the pomegranate juice in a small saucepan until hot. Add the remaining cup of pomegranate juice to a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin packets over the juice. Let sit for 1 minute. Add in the hot juice and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch pan. Sprinkle with the pomegranate seeds and grapes and refrigerate until fully set, at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Put the Greek yogurt in a large bowl and whip with an electric mixer until fluffy. Cut the pomegranate gelatin into 1 1/2-inch cubes. Layer the gelatin, whipped yogurt, sliced strawberries and blueberries in 8 parfait or juice glasses.

Steps:

• Evenly divide the lychees cut-side down among 4 parfait glasses.
• Add the gelatin powder to a large measuring cup. Add 1/2 cup of boiling water and stir until the powder is dissolved. Stir in the lychee syrup and vodka. Pour over the prepared glasses and refrigerate until gelatin sets, about 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, whip the cream. In a large bowl add the heavy cream and whisk briskly until soft peaks form, then add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whisk until firm peaks form when the whisk is removed.
• Once the gelatin sets, top with whipped cream and a cherry for garnish.

Steps:

• Put the Prosecco, 1/2 cup of the sugar and 1/2 cup water in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to burn off some of the alcohol. Remove from the heat and slowly whisk in the gelatin until completely dissolved. Pour into a 9 by 11-inch baking dish, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate to set up for at least 4 hours.
• In a large bowl, whip the cream to medium stiff peaks. In another bowl, whisk the remaining 1/4 cup sugar into the mascarpone until smooth. Add 1/3 of the whipped cream to the mascarpone to lighten, and then fold in the remaining whipped cream. Cut the Prosecco gelatin into 1 by 1-inch cubes and put a layer into the bottoms of 4 parfait glasses. Divide 1/2 of the cream mixture among the glasses on top of the gelatin, and then repeat with 2 more layers, ending with a final dollop of the cream. Serve with a long spoon and dig in!

Steps:

• Place berries into 6 parfait glasses. Add boiling water to gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add cold water and ice cubes; stir until ice is melted. Pour 3/4 cup evenly over berries. Refrigerate 20 min. or until gelatin is set but not firm. Meanwhile, let remaining gelatin stand at room temperature until cooled and ready to be used.
• Add 1 cup COOL WHIP to remaining gelatin; stir with whisk until blended. Spoon over gelatin in glasses.

Steps:

• Put 1/2 cup of the water in a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over it and stir. Let soften for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan combine the remaining 3 1/4 cups of water, 1 1/2 cups of the sugar, the lemon juice and the lemon zest and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the softened gelatin, stirring for 1 minute or more to dissolve all lumps. Stir in a few drops of food coloring, if desired.
• Pour into a heat-safe medium-size bowl, let cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (at least 6 hours).
• Just before serving, whip the cream with the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar, until it holds stiff peaks.
• Fill goblets or sundae glasses halfway with gelatin, top with half of the whipped cream, then fill with more gelatin and top with remaining whipped cream. Garnish with mint sprigs, lemon zest curls or slices and serve.
