How to Make Festive Fruit Gelatin

  1. In a medium bowl, prepare the cranberry gelatin according to package directions. Pour into a 9x13 inch dish and refrigerate until slightly set (about 1 hour).
  2. In a separate bowl, prepare the lime gelatin according to package directions. Pour over the partially set cranberry layer and refrigerate until slightly set (about 1 hour).
  3. In a third bowl, beat together cream cheese, 1/4 cup of cold water and the vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Carefully spoon the cream cheese mixture over the partially set green layer and spread evenly.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely set.
  6. Once firm, slice into squares and serve. Garnish with fresh cranberries or mint sprigs for an extra touch of festive flair!
