Super festive and super fun, this multi-colored treat is also super easy to make—it's just sour cream (or yogurt) and different flavors of JELL-O Gelatin.

What You Need

6-1/4

cups boiling water, divided

pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Gelatin, any 5 different flavors, divided

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream or BREYERS Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt, divided

Make It

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.

This takes time but it is well worth it. I make it for my children to bring to preschool to share with their friends as a birthday treat, because they dont allow junkfood at the center they go to. It is always a huge hit! I make it in a 13x9 pan and cut it into small squares.

Always a great crowd pleaser. I have made many times and always get rave reveiws and it travels well. It is time consuming but worth the effort. Will be continuing making this for many years to come.

I have been making this recipe for many years now, since 1983 my husband was a diabetic. He enjoyed it very much and we all still do enjoy it very much.

This is delicious! I use 3 Tbsp. Vanilla Yogurt instead of sour cream. My family's favorite flavor combination is Wild Strawberry, Pineapple and Apricot Jell-o. It's pretty and the flavors taste great together. This is a great side dish at a bridal shower!

My family loves this recipe, instead of using sour cream I use evaporated milk.

This is a hit at parties and family gatherings! Young children love it; adults admire it. Do suggest letting the first layer sit a bit longer than recipe states... from experience, first layer requires about 25 minutes to set before adding... after that 15 minute intervals is fine. Takes time... but well worth it.
