Layered Jello

This is a little bit time consuming, but OH SO YUMMY!!

Of course you don't have to make this many layers. I actually have 6 here plus whipped cream, because I was making it for a Young Women's activity in the Young Women colors -purple, yellow, orange, green, red, blue and white...but three or four layers would work just as well. (Christmas, Fourth of July, etc...) I was worried about the different flavors tasting weird together but it didn't! It was so good. I'm assuming that every other layer has evaporated milk in it to make it opaque so the layers don't blend together visually. Plus it's yummy. Have I said how much I like this or that it's really yummy?

It is.

Yummy.



Ingredients:

1 each (3oz) of the following jello flavors
grape
lemon
orange
lime
cherry
blue raspberry
boiling water
ice cold water
1 or 2 (12oz) cans evaporated milk
whipped topping


Mix grape jello with 3/4 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, until jello is dissolved. Add 3/4 cup ice cold water. Stir well and pour (CAREFULLY so it doesn't splash on the sides) into 13x9 clear glass pan or dessert cups or whatever you want to serve it in.

Place in refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes. I read somewhere that the trick is to have the jello set enough to stick barely to your finger so that the layers won't separate when you serve it.

Mix lemon jello with 1/2 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, until jello is dissolved. Add 1/2 cup ice cold water and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Stir well and pour carefully (may need to spoon carefully) over chilled grape layer. Chill about 30 minutes.

Mix orange jello with 3/4 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, until jello is dissolved. Add 3/4 cup ice cold water. Stir well and pour onto chilled lemon layer. Chill about 30 minutes.

Mix lime jello with 1/2 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, until jello is dissolved. Add 1/2 cup ice cold water and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Stir well and pour carefully over chilled orange layer. Chill about 30 minutes.

Mix cherry jello with 3/4 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, until jello is dissolved. Add 3/4 cup ice cold water. Stir well and pour over chilled lime layer. Chill about 30 minutes.

Mix blue raspberry jello with 1/2 cup boiling water for 2 minutes, until jello is dissolved. Add 1/2 cup ice cold water and 1/2 cup evaporated milk. Stir well and pour over cherry layer. Chill about 30 minutes. Or until all layers are completely set.

Top with whipped topping and serve.

Of course you can change the flavors, use the same color/flavor for the plain and evaporated layers, etc...Just make sure you can be home most of the day for the chilling part. It doesn't take much time to make, except for the chilling. Check out this other similar broken glass jello recipe!
