(clockwise: kelly's lime-pineapple-7up-marshmellow jello; below that is my strawberry cream jello; joel's green coconut jello; lynn's store bought jello - a joke; kevin's strawberry jello; mike's almond jello w/ tropical fruits; my coffee jello shots - minus the alcohol; jayant's strawberry shortcake jello; lynn's 7-layer jello)

here are the honorable mentions:

• joel's filipino jello - most expensive dish; $18!!
• lynn's 7-layer jello - most effort
• jayant's (or shall i say, deepali's) strawberry shortcake jello - most original
• kevin's strawberry jello - most traditional (lol)

thanks to everyone who participated. all the jellos were yummy!

here's the coffee jello recipe i made. it's a keeper =)

• 2 packets of KNOX gelatin (unflavored, 1/4 ounce each packet)
• 1/2 cup cold coffee (or kahlua)
• 3 cups of good hot brewed coffee
• 1/3 cups of sugar (or up to 3/4 cup according to desired sweetness)
• a pinch of salt

1. in a large bowl, combine gelatin and cold coffee
2. allow to sit for 10 minutes to soften
3. add hot coffee, sugar and salt; stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and mixture is clear
4. pour into individual serving dishes and chill till set
5. serve with sweetened whipped cream or half and half

serves 8

oh, i added some whipping cream to some of the coffee jello shots. i couldn't really taste the difference....
