1 package (3 ounce size) green jello
1 package (3 ounce size) orange jello
1 package (3 ounce size) yellow jello
1 package (3 ounce size) red jello
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1 pint sour cream
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin powder
1/2 cup cold water
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
Additional water to prepare Jello

directions

Grease 13 x 9 dish with oil; Refrigerate to chill dish.

Dissolve 1 package of green Jello in 1 cup hot water, add 1/2 cup cold water, mix well and pour into refrigerated dish; refrigerate to set.

Bring to boil the 2 cups milk and 1 cup sugar. Set aside.

Dissolve 2 envelopes of gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water; add the milk and sugar mixture. Add sour cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla. Beat with electric mixer until blended. Set aside to cool. When fairly cool, spread 1 1/2 cups over top of set green layer. Refrigerate.

When sticky to touch, prepare orange Jello using 1 cup hot water, then adding 1/2 cup cold water. When cool, pour over the creamy layer in refrigerated dish; let set until firm; then add a layer of the creamy mixture; prepare yellow Jello, repeating the same process; then prepare the red Jello, repeating same process; letting each layer set before adding another layer.

Time can be shortened by making all Jello flavors at once and setting aside to cool.

  1. bigz REVIEW:

  2. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I made this recipe for a Christmas banquet and everyone loved it...even went back for seconds, and it also looked really neat when it was cut into with all the colors. I even had a man come to me and say that all the other desserts were ok, but this one was to die for! Kudos to whomever came up with this recipe!
