Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat the mixture for 3-4 minutes until stiff peaks form. Tip: Chill your bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes beforehand to help the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.
6. Once the jello is set, use a knife to cut it into 1/2-inch cubes.
7. Assemble the parfaits in six clear glasses or bowls. Start with a layer of jello cubes at the bottom of each glass.
8. Add a layer of the whipped cream mixture on top of the jello layer.

5. Refrigerate the dish, uncovered, for at least 4 hours or until the gelatin layer is completely set and firm to the touch.
6. While the gelatin chills, place a medium mixing bowl and the beaters of a hand mixer in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill, which helps the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.
7. In the chilled bowl, combine 1 cup of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 2-3 minutes—stop when the cream holds its shape when the beaters are lifted.
8. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the set gelatin layer in the baking dish using a spatula.
9. Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for an additional 1 hour to firm up the topping.
10. Lift the parchment paper to remove the entire dessert from the dish. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry to cut it into 16 even squares, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Now, you’ve got a batch of these gorgeous squares ready to enjoy! Naturally, the bottom layer has a firm, jiggly texture that bursts with bright pomegranate flavor, while the creamy topping adds a smooth, vanilla-kissed contrast. For a festive twist, sprinkle them with pomegranate arils or serve alongside fresh berries—they’re sure to disappear fast at your next potluck or party!
