Two Layer Whipped Jello

A really easy treat that can be made ahead. 

It looks more impressive than it is and the kids can make it themselves.

2 small packages orange jello

1 1/2 cup boiling water

1 cup orange or cranberry juice

1 cup ice cubes

1 can mandarin oranges, drained

Stir 1 ½ c boiling water into 2 small packages orange jello until dissolved.  Add ice cubes to 1 cup cold orange or cranberry juice to make 2 cups.  Stir into jello until ice is melted.  Blend mixture in blender on medium speed for 30 seconds.  Spoon mandarin oranges into 10 dessert cups or large serving bowl.  Pour jello over the top of fruit.  Chill for 45 or more minutes or until set.  It will finish with a frothy layer on top and a clear layer on the bottom.

*Can be made with any variation of jello flavors, fruits and juices.  Our family liked it best with no fruit at all - just plain.
