Rainbow Ribbon Jello Recipes

RAINBOW RIBBON JELLO

Steps:

• Get 6 small bowls out to start. Mix 1 box of Jello with 1 cup boiling water and ½ cup cold water. Do this with all of the colors at the same time.
• Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat just until it reaches a lukewarm temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together 1 cup boiling water with the envelopes of Knox gelatin. Whisk together until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the warm milk, yogurt, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined and completely smooth with no lumps.
• Pour the first color into a 9x13-inch pan and refrigerate until set (about 45 minutes, but can vary depending on the temperature of your fridge and how full it is). Once it's set, very gently pour 1½ cups of the yogurt mixture on top. Return to the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until set. Repeat with the colors and yogurt mixture until the last color is used (you will have some yogurt mixture leftover). When finished, refrigerate for at least another hour. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve; refrigerate leftovers.

• 2. Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat just until it reaches a lukewarm temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together 1 cup boiling water with the envelopes of plain gelatin. Whisk together until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the warm milk, sour cream, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined and completely smooth with no lumps.
• 3. Pour the first color into a 9x13-inch pan and refrigerate until set (about 45 minutes, but can vary depending on the temperature of your fridge and how full it is). Once it's set, very gently pour 1½ cups of the sour cream mixture on top. Return to the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until set.

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.

RAINBOW JELL-O

Steps:

• Dissolve the first box of Jello (we start with Strawberry) with 1 1/4 cups of hot water.
• Separate 1/2 cup and set aside.
• Pour the remaining 3/4 cup into an 8 x 8-inch pan.
• Refrigerate 15-30 minutes~do not allow it to completely set.
• Add 3 tablespoons of sour cream to the reserved 1/2 cup of Jello, mixing until blended.
• Gently pour on top of first "almost-set" Jello layer.
• Again, allow Jello to "almost-set" in the refrigerator, 15-30 minutes.
• Repeat with remaining four boxes of Jello.
• I found that I needed to allow the dissolved Jello time to cool before gently pouring on the next layer, or it would break into the "almost-set" layer.
• Once completed, refrigerate until firm.
• Cut into squares, 1 x 1-inch or 2 x 2-inch, if desired.

RAINBOW RIBBON MOLD

Steps:

• Stir 1-1/4 cups boiling water into 1 pkg. gelatin in small bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Pour 3/4 cup of the dissolved gelatin into 8-cup ring mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched). Refrigerate remaining gelatin in bowl about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Gradually stir in 3 Tbsp. of the sour cream. Spoon over gelatin in pan. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until gelatin is set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched).
• Repeat process with each remaining gelatin flavor. (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. Cut into 16 slices to serve. Store leftover gelatin in refrigerator.

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!

EASIER RIBBON JELLO (SOUR CREAM VERSION)

Steps:

• Combine 1 package of Jello to 1 cup of boiling water and then divide.
• For first half mix with 1/3 cup sour cream.
• For the second half add 3 Tablespoons cold water.
• In a 9x13 glass casserole dish place sour cream layer first.
• Set in fridge for 20 to 25 minutes to chill.
• Add Jello / water mixture next.
• Let set for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Repeat above process with the next Jello color until you have a total of 12 layers total.

RAINBOW RIBBON MOLD

Steps:

• This is a real make ahead dessert! Plan on it taking about 3 hours to make, the day before you need it. It only takes a few minutes every 20 minutes or so, but you can't let a layer set for hours before adding the next one, or you risk the layers sliding apart after unmolding. And, you want the finished mold to set up at least over night.
• Lightly spray a bundt pan or 9x13 pan with non stick spray.
• Wisk 1 package of jello into 1-1/4 cups boiling water in a small bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved.
• Pour 3/4 cup of the dissolved gelatin into 8-cup ring mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until set but not firm. (It should stick to finger when touched). By placing it onto a level surface in your freezer you can speed up the process.
• Refrigerate remaining jello in bowl about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Gradually stir in 3 tablespoons of the coconut milk and stir until well blended.
• Spoon over jello in pan.
• Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until gelatin is set but not firm (Again, jello should stick to finger when touched and By placing it onto a level surface in your freezer you can speed up the process.)
• REPEAT process with each remaining jello flavor.
• ***It is very important to cool dissolved gelatin to room temperature before pouring into mold or the layers will not be well defined-but it will still taste good :)***.
• Repeat steps again for a total of 10 alternating clear and creamy gelatin layers.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours or until firm. Unmold. For best results, unmold just before serving. Fill a larger container or clean sink with warm water, not too hot (otherwise it will melt). Rub a few drops of water onto the serving plate, this will facilitate adjusting the mold after unmolding, if necessary. Either use a plate with a large lip and just a little bit bigger than the diameter of the mold, or use a larger platter, at least 2-3 inches larger than the mold, because it will spread when unmolded and cut. Dip the mold almost to the edge into the warm water for just a few seconds. Wipe off with a towel and check the edges to see if they are loose, if not, repeat the dip for just a few seconds. Invert serving plate on top and flip quickly. Cut into 16 slices to serve. Store leftover gelatin in refrigerator.
• This can be adapted easily for team colours, wedding shower colours, or even a patriotic mold. To create the colour white, simply use knox gelatin with the coconut milk.
