How Do You Make Rainbow Jello?
Ever made an edible rainbow? Jello rainbows are easy to make but take several hours to assemble. • Select a tray or baking pan. • Clear a spot in your refrigerator large enough to accommodate the pan. • Set the cups in the pan or tray. • Start with red (or purple) Jello. Prepare the Jello according to the directions on the packet. See warnings. • If there is a “quick chill” method involving ice cubes, use that method. • Use a 1/4 cup measure and fill the bottom of each cup with the first batch of Jello. • Set aside any leftover Jello. • Set the pan in the refrigerator for approximately 15 minutes to set. • Take the leftover Jello of the color you just poured and mix in a couple of tablespoons of whipped topping. • Remove the cups from the refrigerator and layer approximately two tablespoons of the opaque mixture onto the first color. Repeat the steps above for each color, allowing approximately 15 minutes of refrigerator time between every layer.
Rainbow Jello is made from a variety of Jello flavors that are layered to create the appearance of a rainbow. You can use any color combinations you like and it’s a simple recipe to make. You only need the time to make this Jello recipe, as it takes a while for each layer to set before you can add the next layer. Spray a large glass cake pan with a light coating of non-stick spray. Mix up the first flavor of Jello according to the recipe on the box. Pour it into the cake pan to set. Put the cake pan on a level shelf in your refrigerator and allow the Jello to set up. Make another flavor of Jello by following the recipe on the box. Pour it on top of the first layer of Jello and return to the refrigerator to allow the second layer to set. Repeat this process until you’ve created 4 layers in your rainbow Jello, or however many you would like. Cut it with a spatula to showcase the rainbows.
