Rainbow Jello is incredibly fun to make and eat. Vary the flavors and colors to suit any occasion of the year.
Servings: 30
Ingredients
- 2 (3-oz) boxes Jello, gelatin powder, strawberry or raspberry
- 2 (3-oz) boxes Jello, gelatin powder, blueberry or other flavor
- 1 oz Knox unflavored gelatin, from 4 envelopes
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups boiling water
- cooking spray, canola preferred
Instructions
- Dissolve 2 envelopes of Knox gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water in a bowl. Mix with sweetened condensed milk. Mix well, and set aside. Will be approximately 3 cups.
- Divide the 4 boxes of Jello into 4 separate bowls. Add 1/2 envelope of Knox gelatin to every bowl. Add 1 cup of boiling water to every bowl and stir the mixtures until well dissolved.
- Spray a 13×9 pan lightly with oil. Carefully pour 1 bowl of jello mixture into pan. Place pan in freezer, making sure it's level, 8-10 minutes for the first layer, just until there is a light fingerprint when you touch the top.
- Pour 1 cup condensed milk mixture on top, and freeze for 7 minutes.
- Continue layering and freezing for 7 minutes for each layer. Don’t freeze too long between layers or they will not stick together as well.
- If needed, microwave bowls of jello in 10-20 second increments, to keep from coagulation while you wait for each layer.
- Once layers are done, cover and chill in fridge until fully set. Slice into squares with a sharp knife and serve on a platter, if desired.
Notes
- This recipe requires a bit of patience, but the stunning result is worth it.
- Spraying your pan with cooking oil before pouring in the first Jello layer will help the dessert removes easily when it's time to slice and serve.
- Microwaving the Jello in short increments can help prevent it from setting while you wait for the previous layer to chill.
- Make sure to cut the Jello into squares with a sharp knife for clean, neat edges when serving.
- Experiment with different flavors to match a special occasion. You can use red, white, and blue Jello for Independence Day or shades of green for St. Patrick's Day, etc.
