Ingredients
1 small box of sugar-free strawberry, cherry or rasberry gelatin (any red flavor)1 small box of sugar-free orange gelatin1 small box of sugar-free lemon jello1 small box of sugar-free lime jello1 boiling cup water for each package of gelatin (4 cups in all)1 cup cold diet ginger ale (red layer)1 cup cold diet orange soda (orange layer)1 cup cold diet lemon lime soda (yellow layer)1 cup cold club soda (green layer)
Directions
You can use any flavor os sugar free gelatin, but it's prettier if the layers are contrasting colors. You can also use any carbonated diet drinks that you wish in the gelatin layers.

Get out six small parfait glasses. You can also use large ballon wineglasses if you don't have parfait glasses.

Boil one cup of water for the first layer. Pour the boiling water in a small bowl, and add the sugar-free gelatin of your choice. Stir it until it's dissolved (about 1 minute).

Let the gelatin cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Set your kitchen timer. You don't want it to harden, just to cool to room temperature.

Measure out one cup of diet soda and add it to your cool gelatin, Stir it in gently. Avoid stirring too much-that will break down the bubbles. Pour in each of the six glasses you've chosen to use.

Rinse out your bowl. You can use it again for the next layer.

Refrigerate the glasses until the botton layer is set. This will take approximately one hour.

When the first layer is set, it's time to make the next layer.

Repeat the previous steps until all layers are complete.

Once the top layer is complete, you can cover each glass with a piece of plastic wrap to keep the top fresh.

Add three raspberries, a small strawberry or a slice of peach or pear. The calorie count will be approximately the same.
