RAINBOW JELLO


This was really fun to make and looks way cool!  I ran out of space at the end and also yogurt, so the last layer was just jello.  So next time I would buy a little more yogurt and split it into a 9x13 and a glass bowl or use bigger pyrex pan. 

UPDATE: Only had lemon, lime and orange on hand.  Made it for when Dan & Judi were coming over.  They LOVED it!  Used Greek vanilla.
To make sure you have the Luck o’ the Irish at your St. Patrick’s Day feast, be sure to bring your own rainbow!  Not only is it easy to make, and gorgeous to look at, it’s fun to eat!
Rainbow Jello
I’ve been making Rainbow Jell-O almost every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas since High School! It’s super fun to either peel apart the layers and eat them one by one, or have a flavor burst when you eat them all at once!  It’ll be fun to incorporate it into our St. Patrick’s Day fun too!
Rainbow Jello Recipe
Ingredients
  • 1 small box Red Jell-O (I like cherry over strawberry, it gives a deeper red)
  • 1 small box Orange Jell-O
  • 1 small box Yellow Jell-O
  • 1 small box Green Jell-O
  • 1 small box Blue Jell-O
  • 1 small box Purple Jell-O
  • 4 cups vanilla or plain yogurt
  • 10 cups water, divided
Instructions

Starting with either Red or Purple, work your way thought the different boxes of jell-o in the order (or reverse order) listed above.
Dissolve 1 package Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water.
After dissolved, split into 2 bowls.
Add 2/3 cup yogurt to one bowl, and stir until smooth
Add 2/3 cup cold water into the other bowl, and stir for 10-15 seconds.
Pour yogurt mixture into 9x13 pan and let solidify in fridge for 45 minutes.
Pour water mixture slowly over yogurt mixture, and let solidify in fridge for at least 45 minutes.
Repeat with each color.
Note
So this recipe doesn't take over my entire day, I like to split it up. I do one color as soon as I wake up, one color before I cook dinner, and one color right before I go to bed. That way it only takes a few minutes per day.
