Steps:
- Prepare a regular sized muffin tin: use 9 small balls, or wad up balls of foil (or paper) and place in the muffin tin. Place 9 clear plastic cups on top of the balls at an angle (see video at top of this page!) The small balls help to keep the cup at an angle.
- Next prepare the strawberry jell-o (both packets) according to package directions (not for quick set, but for regular set). Fill up the cups evenly with the strawberry jell-o (be careful as you pour and ensure the cups stay at an angle).
- Hull and slice the strawberries and then place a few slices of strawberries into each jell-o cup. Carefully transfer the muffin tin into the fridge and allow the strawberry jell-o to completely set up.
- When the jell-o layer is nearly set up, you can begin on the mousse.
- Place 1 and 1/2 cups Sprite in a microwave safe bowl or cup and microwave just until the mixture comes to a boil. Whisk the packet of strawberry jell-o into the Sprite.
- Transfer the mixture to a high powdered blender and add in the cream cheese. Blend until completely smooth. And in remaining 1 cup of (COLD) Sprite and blend again until smooth.
- Add in the completely thawed Cool Whip and blend just until smooth. (You can leave out about 1/2 cup for optional garnish at the end if desired).
- Pour this mixture evenly over the jell-o layers (you shouldn't use as much of this mousse as you did of the jell-o or it tends to be overpowering).
- Place in the fridge and allow to set completely.
- If desired, garnish with fresh whipped cream (or 1/2 cup extra cool whip) and garnish with fresh mint and a small strawberry.

Steps:
- Set aside 6 mini glass jars -- cleaned out baby food jars work great!
- Boil 1 cup of the water.
- In a medium, heat-proof bowl, pour in the boiling water. Add the package of Jell-O and whisk until completely dissolved.
- Next, add the remaining cup of cold water and stir.
- Pour some -- not all -- of the Jell-O mixture evenly among all 6 jars, filling the jar halfway, about 3 tbsp per jar.
- Set the remaining Jell-O aside at room temperature and place the jars in the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours until just set.
- When 2 hours is up, add nearly all of the Cool Whip to the Jell-O that wasn't chilled, leaving about 6 tbsp of Cool Whip aside for topping the jars.
- Pour the Jell-O mousse into the jars on top of the set Jell-O, leaving just a bit of room on the top for the remaining whipped topping to be added later.
- Place the jars back in the fridge and let set for at least 4 hours, up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, add the remaining Cool Whip to the tops of the jars by dolloping on with a spoon or using a piping bag.
- Garnish with fresh fruit if desired and serve.
