My mom and I used to make this when I was a kid — in about 1978, in fact. Only difference was that we poked with the handle of a wooden spoon for more spectacular Jello intrusions, and used two different colors/flavors of Jello. Red and green was a favorite, done in halves or in stripes. Thanks for the memories!
