For a festive presentation, consider using clear glass bowls or trifle dishes to showcase the vibrant layers of Jell-O and cream. To prevent the ladyfingers from becoming soggy, lightly brush them with a simple syrup or a complementary fruit juice before assembling the pie. Experiment with different Jell-O flavors to create unique color combinations and flavor profiles. Consider raspberry, strawberry, or grape for variations. For a richer flavor, substitute mascarpone cheese for half of the whipped cream. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought whipped topping instead of making your own. However, freshly whipped cream will provide the best flavor and texture.
