My midsummer birthday (and lack of air conditioning) made me decide that an oven-baked cake was too hot to be worth the trouble. But one must have a birthday treat, mustn't one? So here's what I developed:
One pack of strawberry-banana gelatin
Add one cup boiling water
After it properly dissolves, add 1/2 cup cold water and 1/2 cup cold apple or pear juice
Put in refrigerator to partially set.
Take one graham cracker crust
Grate a carrot
Chop about 1/2 cup of celery
Add about 1/2 cup of walnuts
Pour partially set gelatin over the chopped veggies and allow to finish setting
Top with a little whipped cream if desired
Alternate flavor: Lime gelatin with pear halves and walnuts
No need to start the oven and heat up the house and it's still a visually satisfying treat and very refreshing.
Thanks for visiting with me.
