Ingredients
1 package (3 oz.) each Jell-O Orange, Cherry, and Lime gelatins
4 cups boiling water
1-1/2 cups cold water
1 package (3 oz.) Jell-O Lemon Gelatin
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs.
1/3 cup melted butter or margarine

Directions
Prepare the three flavors of gelatin separately, using 1 cup boiling water and 1/2 cup cold water for each. Pour each flavor into an 8-inch square pan. Chill until firm, or overnight. Then combine the lemon gelatin, sugar, and remaining 1 cup boiling water; stir until gelatin and sugar are dissolved. Stir in pineapple juice. Chill until slightly thickened.
Meanwhile, mix the crumbs and melted butter; press into bottom of 9-inch spring-form pan. (If desired, press part of crumbs on sides of pan.) Cut the firm gelatins into 1/2-inch cubes. Then prepare whipped topping mix as directed on package or whip the cream; blend with lemon gelatin. Fold in gelatin cubes. Pour into pan.
Chill at least 5 hours, or overnight. Run knife or spatula between sides of dessert and pan, and remove sides of pan before serving. If desired, spread additional prepared whipped topping or whipped cream on top and sides. Makes 16 servings.
Glass Window Dessert
Review
The glass window dessert is an elegant dish with a light texture continuously before entering the buttery, biscuit base and falling in love at first bite. ''A cheesecake?!'' I hear you cry, you are both right and wrong, although the texture and aesthetics are very much like a cheesecake the dessert contains no cheese and is a lot less sickly than a cheesecake. The use of jelly throughout provides constant, refreshing bursts of flavour. The flaw in the recipe is the time scale that you have to GUESS whilst preparing three separate desserts before combining the base, the topping and the jelly. The preparation and process of this is quite comnplex although the results are more than satisfactory and you will not regret the experience of tasting this unique dessert.
