I don't consider myself to be an independently creative person. I prefer to follow instruction, or to branch off of an idea already created. This rainbow Jello is perfect for my methodical ways because its not limited to a rectangular, 9x13 dish - I've seen quite a few different containers used for this popular recipe including wineglasses, lab glassware, bowls...the list is as long as there are vessels that can hold liquid!
The first time I made rainbow Jello we brought it to a family gathering where it was rapidly consumed by kids of course, but also by intrigued adults who tried to peel apart the individual layers.
Bring this to the next potluck or gathering you attend - its guaranteed to put a smile on everyone's face!
Rainbow Jello
For each colored layer:
1 - 3 ounce package Jello powder in desired color
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
For white layer:
1 - 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
Mix each Jello color in its own bowl. Do not prepare according to package directions; instead follow these steps: for each package of Jello, add 1 tablespoon of gelatin and 1 cup boiling water.
Let Jello mixtures come to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Prepare the white layer in one bowl and allow to come to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
Pour first color into 9x13 dish. Refrigerate till firm. Add 1/3 of white mixture next, ensuring that it is added slowly so the pouring action does not create a tear in the layer below. Refrigerate till firm. Repeat till all Jello mixtures have been used. Refrigerate 1 hour before serving.

Those are perfect looking! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Surprisingly easy to get them to look perfect, too!
ReplyDeleteOh Yum!
ReplyDeleteIt's a long tedious process making all those even layers. You did a great job! I've made this recipe countless times in the past and it's always a hit with the kids!
that looks really neat! i might have to try that with the kids one day. I'm sure they would devour it. Does it taste ok though?
ReplyDeleteYour jello looks great! Was so fun to see it on your site. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the taste of it and haven't found any flavor combos that don't go together ok. I've seen a few people eat it by peeling the layers apart and eating them separately. That would be ok except for the white layer.???? I guess I oughta try it.
cakebrain - it is a bit tedious...I was glad I had things to do that made the time between layers go faster!! My nieces and nephew LOVED it!!
ReplyDeleteKrusty - kids love it. And it really does taste good, just like Jello!
Kay - Thank you!! My sister in law ate it by peeling apart the layers - hehehe. It's a great recipe and is definitely a show stopper!
This looks fun! Great for kids. I bet it took all day to get those layers to set, lol.
ReplyDeleteHey thanks for stopping by Rachelle! It actually took about 2 hours, but I made sure I gave each layer about 15 minutes to set. Because the layers are all so thin, they probably only need about 7-10.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your submission to this week's Carnival of Recipes. Dont' forget to link your post to the carnival at The Expatriate's Kitchen

ReplyDeleteI have never made anything like that, it looks like space age cookies to me.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the flavor come from? Do you use flavored Jello?

I'm so glad I came across your version of these treats! I found them somewhere else but the measurement said "1 pkg Knox gelatin" and I didn't know if they meant one packet or one box!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is having a Cat in the Hat birthday party tomorrow, so I'm in the process of making red & white striped Jell-o! Thank you!
