Pour 3/4 cup of the dissolved gelatin into 8-cup ring mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate 15 min. or until gelatin is set but not firm. Refrigerate remaining gelatin in bowl 5 min. or until slightly thickened. Gradually stir in 3 Tbsp. yogurt; spoon over gelatin in mold. Refrigerate 15 min. or until gelatin is set but not firm.
• Repeat process with each remaining gelatin flavor, alternating red and green colors each time. (Be sure to cool dissolved gelatin to room temperature before pouring into mold.) Refrigerate gelatin as directed to create a total of 10 alternating clear and creamy gelatin layers.
• Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm. Unmold.

RIBBON JELLO

Steps:

• Prepare one pkg of Jello using 1 Cup boiling water and 1/2 Cup cold water.
• Allow each color of Jello to sit out on the counter for approx 1/2 hour before adding to your cooling Jello (if you don't your bottom layers will begin to melt).
• The first layer will go in the bottom of the dish.
• Refrigerate each layer approx 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• To prepare the "white" layer:.
• In medium pot, boil 2 cups milk.
• Add 1 cup sugar.
• Stir until dissolved.
• In small bowl, mix together 2 pkg Knox gelatin with 1 cup cold water.
• Slowly add mixture to hot milk.
• Turn off the heat.
• Put 2 cups sour cream in large bowl.
• Slowly add the hot milk mixture and beat on medium with electric beater to get lumps out.
• Leave white mixture on counter, stirring about every 1/2 hour to keep from jelling.
• After the 1st layer of Jello has firmed, remove dish from fridge.
• USING LADLE, gently pour a thin layer of the white layer over the Jello, be sure to cover completely.
• Put back into fridge to firm.
• Continue to alternate layers: Jello, white, Jello, white, etc allowing each layer to firm up before adding another.
• This will last covered in the fridge for about 3-4 days--just not in my house!
