Instructions

Add all yellow layer ingredients except gelatin to a blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour into a medium-size pan and sprinkle gelatin on top.
Heat over medium-high, whisking constantly, until the fruit mixture starts to boil. Turn off the heat, remove the pan from the burner and allow to cool.
Repeat the first two steps with the orange layer ingredients.
Allow both fruit mixtures to cool at room temp for at least 10 minutes until they are no longer hot to the touch.
Once cooled, divide the yellow mango fruit mixture between five plastic 5.5 oz cups. They should be a little over 1/3 full.
Do the same with the orange strawberry fruit mixture.
Place cups in the fridge to chill and firm up for one hour.
Once jello has chilled, make the white whipped cream topping. Add all whipped cream ingredients to a chilled mixing bowl or a tall emersion blender cup. Mix or blend until you have a whipped cream with stiff peaks.
Scoop whipped cream into a piping bag with a large piping tip and squeeze swirls of whipped cream on the tops of all the jello cups.
Chill jello cups for a couple of hours uncovered to allow the whipped cream to firm up a bit and then gently cover them with plastic wrap until you are ready to serve.

Notes

Adding a little mango to the strawberry layer is for the purpose of brightening the color so that it is closer to an orange hue than pink.
If you have two pans and two hands available, you can cook your fruit mixtures at the same time on separate burners to make the process more efficient.
If you use glass cups, you do not have to wait for the fruit mixtures to cool down before adding them to the cups. The reason for cooling them is so that they do not melt plastic cups.
I like to use my emersion blender for making whipped cream because it is extremely quick and easy.
