The no-bake gelatin cake is wonderful! Both the food and the appearance are delectable. To make this stained glass cake, colorful Jell-O cubes are put into a cake pan and hardened with white gelatin.

Made this tonight and loved it. Easy, quick, and healthy. A great way to utilize in-season produce in the fall.
Desiree Garcia
Added a dash of Tarragon in the absence of enough bay leaves when I doubled the batch. Leftovers didn’t last long, but were even better once it sat in the fridge overnight. The flavors came together beautifully!
Jesse Allen
I replaced the bay leaves with tarragon, turned out great.

What a great mix of flavors. Substantial enough for a meal.
Frederick Perry
This was one of the best squash soups I have ever had! Full of flavor due to the curry. I used chicken broth – not the coconut milk – and it was plenty rich, and I could taste the coconut oil. Garnished it with a dollop of plain greek yogurt, and served it alongside a kale salad with toasted pecans, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, crumbled blue cheese, and balsamic! Great fall/ winter pairing!
Paul Holmes
Absolutely perfect recipe. Subbed olive oil for coconut oil.
Lisa Roberts
Sub pears for sweet potato, limited grocery store. It was amazing!
Paul Turner
I thought this was delicious! Tastes a lot like butternut squash soup I’ve made. Great to know I can also use banana squash. Love it topped with a little sour cream and toasted sunflower or pumpkins seeds.
