Fold half the whipped topping into the pudding and layer this mixture on next. Then make another layer of cake, jam fruit, and almonds, and top with plain whipped topping.

Two-Layer Fingertip Jello

4 envelopes Knox unflavored gelatin

3 3-oz, packages flavored gelatin

4 cups or mugs of boiling water

1/2 pint heavy cream or whipping cream

This recipe is for a 9 x 13 pan, but use whatever equivalents you have. If you use a lightweight aluminum pan, place a large piece of stiff cardboard underneath the pan so that it won't be difficult to life when it is full of unset gelatin.

Combine the flavored and unflavored gelatins evenly in the pans. Add the boiling water and stir until the gelatin dissolves.

Add the cream and stir thoroughly until well mixed; this takes quite a while. Chill until set. The cream will gradually separate slightly, forming a separate top layer.

Cut into bar size to serve this gelatin thicker than normal, and can be eaten without utensils. If you've never had it before this probably sounds strange and you may think it will fall apart in your hands, but the gelatin really does bold together well.
