Patriotic Trifle
2 cups gingerale, divided

1 package (3 ounces) strawberry flavored gelatin

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 pint (2 cups) strawberries, capped and coarsely chopped

8 ounces frozen whipped topping, thawed (any type)

8 ounces vanilla flavored yogurt (any type)

1/3 cup flaked coconut

1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers

1 pint (2 cups) blueberries

Combine 1 cup boiling gingerale, the gelatin and ginger in a bowl large enough to allow space for foaming gingerale to rise. Stir until gelatin is dissolved. (Ginger will not dissolve) Blend in 1-cup cold gingerale; chill until almost set. Stir strawberries into gelatin and set aside briefly.

In a separate bowl, fold whipped topping, yogurt and coconut together until blended.

Line bottom of 12-cup trifle bowl or other straight-sided glass bowl with 12 ladyfinger halves, then layer in order: half the gelatin; half the yogurt mixture; the blueberries; then remaining ladyfingers, yogurt mixture and gelatin. Be certain that all layers are visible along side of bowl so a red, white and blue striped effect is achieved.

Cover and chill at least 12 hours.

12 to 16 servings

Note: Ingredients can also be layered in parfait glasses
