Here's an easy Jello recipe which is great for potlucks. Enjoy.

Ingridents:
2 boxes of 3oz Lime Jello (or any flavor you like)
2 cups of water
1 cup of cream

Directions
1. Boil 2 cups of water.
2. Add the 2 packets of Jello, mix till it has dissolved
3. Pour into a 13" by 9" glass pan, let stand for 10 minutes.
4. Pour in one cup of cream, mix.
5. Refridgerate till jello sets up.
6. Cut out with cookie cutters.

* The cream will separate on it's own creating the two layers.
* This also looks nice cut into simple small squares.

Daw, cute! I can't wait for St. Patrick's day! Hey, did you know you can eat the long stalks of those yellow clover flowers? They taste like sour green grapes and are really tangy, usually called sourgrass. Your shamrocks reminded me of it. There's a big patch of clover growing outside my building and I pick and eat them every time I pass by now. Yet another reason my neighbors think I'm a nut, I'm sure!

Hi Chace,

thanks for sharing, I didn't know you could eat the long stalks, good to know.

How on earth do you get the jello shape out and onto the plate? Was there any flipping over involved?

It is a little difficult but with patience you should be able to do it. I first push the cookie cutter down into the Jello. Then with a knife I cut off the pieces around it. After that I used a spatula to get it out, no flipping involved.

If you don't want to go through all the hassle,I recommend cutting the Jello into small squares. They look just as nice this way.

Hope this helps.
