Rainbow Layered Jell O Cups Recipes

LAYERED RAINBOW JELLO

Steps:

• Bottom (purple) layer: Dissolve a 3-ounce package of grape flavored jello with 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin (1/2 envelope of Knox unflavored gelatin) in 1 cup of boiling water by stirring until completely dissolved. Pour into a 9x13-inch pan and transfer to the refrigerator. Make sure the pan is sitting completely flat. Chill until completely set, about 30 minutes.
• Second (white) layer: Make this layer at the same time as the bottom layer. Stir 2 teaspoons (1 envelope) of Knox unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water until dissolved. Add 1/2 can of sweetened condensed milk and stir until combined. Let this sit out on the counter until cooled to room temperature, but not yet set while the previous layer sets up in the fridge.
• Once the first colored layer has set, make the next colored layer (berry blue) following the directions in Step 1 so it can start to cool. Then pour 3/4 cup of the white jello mixture over the colored layer and gently tilt the pan side to side for even distribution. Return jello to the refrigerator to set up, which takes about 20 minutes.
• Continue to make layers following steps 1 & 2, alternating flavored colorful layers (the next colors in rainbow order are green, yellow, orange, and red) with the creamy white layers, letting the jello set between each addition until all of the jello has been used up. You will need to make the white layer a couple of times because even without refrigeration it will set up on the counter if you make it all at once.
• Once the jello is completely set, slice into 1-inch squares using a paring knife (not a serrated blade which leaves marks in the jello) and serve. A small spatula will help you get the jello cubes out of the pan.

LAYERED RAINBOW JELLO

Steps:

• Lightly spray a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a 4-cup glass measuring cup, add 3 packets of the Knox unflavored gelatin. Add a ¼ cup of cool water, stirring to moisten the gelatin, then allow the gelatin to soak for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add 1¼ cup boiling water, stirring with a whisk until completely dissolved. Next, stir in the two cans of sweetened condensed milk. Add more hot water, if needed, to make a total of 4 cups. Set aside to cool.
• In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add 1 packet of Knox unflavored gelatin. Add 2 tablespoons of cool water, stirring to moisten the gelatin, then allow the gelatin to soak for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add 1½ cups of boiling, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Then pour in the box of blue jello, stirring until dissolved. Let cool for 20 minutes, then pour into the prepared 9 x 13-inch pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator, make sure it is sitting level and flat, and allow the jello to set up for 30 minutes.
• When the first jello layer is set firm, leave the pan in the refrigerator if possible, and measure 1 cup of the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Pour slowly and carefully over the first jello layer, making sure the entire blue layer is covered. Allow to set up for 20 to 30 minutes or until firm.
• While the sweetened condensed layer is setting up, prepare the green layer of jello, repeating the instructions in step 3. **Before adding the green layer, make sure the sweetened condensed milk layer is set firm.
• For the remaining layers, alternate the milk mixture with a jello layer (alternating steps 3 and 4). For the remaining jello layers, the order is yellow, orange, and red. Remember to allow the jello to cool for 20 minutes before adding it to the pan. Allow each layer to set for at least 30 minutes before adding the next layer.**If possible, leave the pan in the refrigerator while pouring the layers. As the pan gets fuller, it gets challenging to carry it back and forth to the refrigerator without spilling.
• Once all the layers have been added, allow the finished jello to set up for at least 2 hours or, even better, overnight before attempting to cut and remove.
• Once completely set, cut into 1-inch to 1½-inch squares.

EASY RAINBOW JELLO RECIPE

Steps:

• I used the "quicker method" the box refers to, using ice to speed up the process
• Pour a small amount of the liquid into each cup
• Refrigerate until it has set completely
• Continue with the next color of the rainbow
• Add a small amount on top of your first color
• Refrigerate until it has set and then repeat each step again until you have used every color of the rainbow
• Once all your layers are looking pretty, add some whipped cream and sprinkles!

RAINBOW LAYERED JELL-O CUPS

Steps:

• Begin by finding a space in your refrigerator for all of your cups to refrigerate. I find it easiest to put the cups on a baking pan to bring them from fridge to counter to make these.
• Add gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water in a bowl. Let set for 5 minutes. Add 1-1/2 cups boiling water and mix well until dissolved completely. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Set aside to cool and make your first color.
• Mix grape jello with 1 cup of boiling water and stir for about 2 minutes or until completely dissolved. Gently pour a small amount into cup. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
• Pour a small amount of white gelatin onto the purple and refrigerate for 15 minutes. While in the refrigerator, prepare your second color. You can let your jello colors sit on the counter for 30 minutes. They will not set up.
• Repeat, layering colors and a white layer, refrigerating each layer for 15 minutes. Use a portion scoop to drizzle the layers. It ends up being about 1 tablespoon for each layer.
• When complete with the red layer, refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving.

RAINBOW JELL-O SHOT CUPS

Steps:

• For the panna cotta: In a medium saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin over the cold water. Let stand until absorbed, about 3 minutes. Place the saucepan over low heat until the gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute. When the gelatin is liquid, whisk in the half-and-half and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is melted and the mixture is hot and just steaming, about 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and remove from the heat to cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
• Place each color of gelatin in its own medium microwave-safe bowl or 4-cup liquid measuring cup. Add 1 teaspoon of the unflavored gelatin to each; whisk until combined. Pour 1 cup of the boiling water into each container and stir well to dissolve the gelatin. Add 1/4 cup of the vodka to each container. Stir to combine.
• Set an empty 18-count egg carton on a large rimmed baking sheet. Place eight 5-ounce dessert glasses at an angle in the cavities, spacing them apart. Make room in the refrigerator to accommodate the baking sheet.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of the liquid panna cotta in each glass. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Next, pour in about a 1/4-inch layer of the grape gelatin. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. Repeat pouring and chilling 1/4-inch layers of the panna cotta, blue raspberry gelatin, more panna cotta, lime gelatin, then panna cotta again, refrigerating each layer for 15 minutes before adding the next. If the colored gelatins begin to set before pouring, microwave each container for 30 seconds and stir well to bring it back to a liquid state.
• Place the dessert glasses upright directly on the baking sheet. The chilled diagonal layers will stay in place. Pour and chill 1/4-inch layers of the lemon, orange, and strawberry gelatin, alternating each color with the panna cotta and finishing with the strawberry gelatin on top. Refrigerate until well set, about 2 hours. Serve well chilled.

RAINBOW JELLO

Steps:

• You can use any variety of jello you want and as many as you want.
• Use 1 box of lemon jello with 3/4 cup boiling water and 3/4 cup cold water.
• Mix well and pour into a 9x13 tupperware container.
• Let set a little awhile.
• The next layer consists of the other box of lemon jello, but this time combine 3/4 cup boiling water and let that sit for awhile and when a little cool, add 3/4 cup evaporated milk and mix together and pour onto the 1st layer in tupperware pan (that gives it a slightly different color and taste).
• Continue with the other colors of jello you want.
• Kids love it.
