Ingredients
  • One package of blue raspberry Jell-O (3 oz. box)
  • One package of green Jell-O (3 oz. box)
  • One package of orange Jell-O (3 oz. box)
  • 3 cups of boiling water (one cup for each color)
  • 3 cups of ice cubes (one cup for each color)
  • One cup sour cream (1/2 cup for green, ½ cup for orange)
Instructions
  1. I start with a dark color, in this case, I used blue raspberry. I make the jello according to the package; however, I add only one cup of boiling water with the small box, mix until dissolved, and then add one cup of ice cubes. Once the ice melts, I pour into clear plastic cups, then refrigerate.
  2. Once the jello is set, I prepare the next color. In this case I chose green. Again, one cup boiling water, mix and dissolve, then one cup of ice cubes. I only use half of the mixture that I pour over the layer of set blue jello, then refrigerate until set. The remaining half of green jello I mix ½ cup of sour cream and whisk until smooth. I wait until the clear green layer sets before pouring the lighter green on top.
  3. Next I chose orange, and prepared just like the green - half clear orange, half orange with sour cream.
  4. It is important to wait until each layer is completely set before pouring a new shade.
  5. In this photo, these are mini plastic cups, so I was unable to do all the colors of the rainbow. These rainbow cups are always a fun to treat with my family, and keep us smiling.
