Best 5 8 Layer Jello Salad Recipes

LAYERED RAINBOW JELLO (VINTAGE RECIPE)

Steps:

• You will be making two layers from each box of jello. Once you do the first one, you'll have the technique down.
• Use a clear Pyrex dish. The 9X14 size works great for six colors. If your dish is a little smaller, use 5 colors like I did this time.
• I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup to boil my water and a second one for pouring off part of the jello.
• Put one cup of water in your Pyrex measuring cup and boil the water in your microwave. I used the two-minute setting for this.
• Carefully remove the measuring cup from the microwave and add one package of gelatin. Stir until it is completely dissolved.
• Then measure out ¾ cup of the jello into a second container. To this container, add 1/3 cup of sour cream and whisk until it is smooth.
• To the remaining jello, add 2 TB of cold water and mix.
• Pour this into a 9X13 clear baking dish and refrigerate until set.
• After 30 minutes, pull your dish out of the refrigerator and pour the sour cream mixture over the first layer.
• Place the dish back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
• Wash your measuring cups and prepare the next layer of jello the same way you made the first layer -- one cup of solid color jello and one mixed with sour cream.
• Pour the clear jello mix over the top of the set layers. Then half an our later, add the sour cream mixture.
• Keep repeating this process until you have all the layers done.
• Cover with foil and refrigerate.

LAYERED RAINBOW JELL-O SALAD

Steps:

• Decide on your color pattern (the order for the colors of Jell-O you've selected), and begin by working with the color that will go on the bottom.
• Boil 1 cup of water in the microwave.
• Add 1 packet of Jell-O to the boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
• Pour 1/2 cup of this liquid into a 9x13 pan to create a "clear" layer, tilting pan for even coverage if necessary (see note).
• Refrigerate until set (see note).
• While the first layer sets, add 1/2 cup Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons cold water to the remaining liquid Jell-O for the "cloudy" layer.
• Pour the liquid for your "cloudy" layer on top of the completely set clear layer.
• Refrigerate again until set.
• Repeat this process with each color of Jell-O to create alternating "clear" and "cloudy" layers in each color you've chosen.
• Refrigerate until serving.
