Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup boiling water

1 package (3 oz) strawberry-flavored Jell-O

1 cup cold water

2 cups Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed

1 cup crushed graham crackers (or vanilla wafer cookies)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine boiling water with the strawberry Jell-O powder. Stir until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes.

    Add cold water to the Jell-O mixture, stirring well. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

      Once the Jell-O has cooled slightly, add half of the sliced strawberries to the mixture, then pour it into individual serving glasses or parfait cups.

        Refrigerate the Jell-O cups for about 1 hour, or until the Jell-O is set.

          Once set, carefully layer 1/4 cup of crushed graham crackers on top of the Jell-O in each glass.

            Top each layer with a generous dollop of Cool Whip, spreading it evenly.

              Repeat the layering with the remaining Jell-O, graham crackers, and Cool Whip until the glasses are filled.

                Garnish the top with the remaining sliced strawberries and a mint leaf, if desired. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
