While you enjoy your Fourth of July, try one of these recipes:

What You Need

1-1/2 cups boiling water, divided

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin

1 cup ice cubes, divided

1 HONEY MAID Graham Pie Crust (6 oz.)

1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O Strawberry Flavor Gelatin, or any red flavor

1 cup thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

Make It

ADD 3/4 cup boiling water to blue gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add 1/2 cup ice cubes; stir until melted. Pour into crust; refrigerate 5 to 10 min. or until set but not firm.

MEANWHILE, repeat to dissolve red gelatin mix in separate bowl; stir in remaining ice cubes. Cool 5 min. or until slightly thickened.

SPREAD COOL WHIP over blue gelatin layer; cover with red gelatin. Refrigerate 2 hours or until set.

Another wonderful 4^th of July dessert perfect for any family get together are Uncle Sam Ice Cream Cones.

This dessert requires cake cones, white frosting, red and blue decorating gels, red and blue M&Ms and a canister of ready made whipped cream. You will also need a scoop of vanilla ice cream for each dessert.

Simply drop a scoop of ice cream on each plate and return to the freezer to harden. Next, construct an Uncle Sam hat out of a cake cone.

Use frosting and gels to decorate the cones with stripes and stars so that they resemble a patriotic top hat. Star tips work great with the white frosting to create star buttons and decorations around the base of the cone.

When the hat is complete, remove the ice cream scoop or Uncle Sam's Head from the freezer. Top the head quickly and add red and blue M&Ms for the face and nose. Add a whipped cream beard using the ready whip and serve Uncle Sam immediately.
