The title comes from its appearance : When you cut into the dessert, the different colors of Jell-O resemble stained glass framed by whipped cream. For pies, the mixture is turned into a baked pie crust, graham cracker crust or chocolate wafer crust. The other branch of the family pairs the mixture with lady fingers, angel food cake, chunks of butter cake or even cake crumbs. Fruit is sometimes added. 4, record 2, English, - stained%20glass%20dessert
