RAINBOW RIBBON JELLO



Rainbow Ribbon Jello image

My best friend makes this every year for Easter. It is very a very simple recipe, but make sure you have a lot of time to finish it. I recommend starting it early the day before you will want to serve it.

Provided by Amy H.

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 6h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

FOR THE JELLO LAYERS
6 box (3-ounce) jello, 1 each red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple
6 c boiling water
3 c cold water
FOR THE WHITE LAYERS
4 c milk
1 c boiling water
4 envelopes plain gelatin
24 oz sour cream
1 c granulated sugar
4 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Get 5 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.
  • 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. Repeat with the colors and sour cream mixture until the last color is used (you will have some sour cream mixture leftover). When finished, refrigerate for at least another hour. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve; refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colors of gelatin to create a festive and visually appealing salad.
  • Chill the gelatin layers completely before adding the next layer. This will help to prevent the layers from mixing together.
  • Use fresh fruit for the best flavor. If using canned fruit, be sure to drain it well.
  • If you don't have time to make the orange sauce, you can use store-bought orange marmalade instead.
  • Garnish the salad with whipped cream or sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.

Conclusion:

Ribbon Jello Salad is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its colorful layers and sweet and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or party.
