Notes
Use vegan jello and dairy-free whipped topping for a vegan version.
Store covered in the fridge for up to 5 days. Do not freeze.
For a layered look, let each jello layer set before adding the next.
Cool Whip can be replaced with whipped coconut cream for a different texture.
Use small 1–2 oz plastic or silicone shot cups with lids for easy serving and transport.
