SEVEN LAYER JELLO

Make this in a clear dish! It is SO pretty and people will be asking how you cut the Jello into such thin and even layers! Cooking time is total time for all the layers to set. Each layer takes about 30-45 minutes to set so it is best to place the white mixture over a pot of hot water to prevent it from getting hard while you are waiting for the Jello to harden.

7 LAYER JELLO MOLD RECIPE - (3.2/5)



7 Layer Jello Mold Recipe - (3.2/5) image

Provided by CarolV

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pkg. each cherry, lime, lemon & orange 3 oz. Jello
3/4 c. boiling water for each pkg. Jello
2 c. scalded milk
1 c. granulated sugar
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin and 1/2 c. cold water
1 pt. sour cream
1 tsp. vanilla

Steps:

  • Dissolve each Jello separately in 3/4 c. boiling water and 1/4 c. cold water. I make each Jello color as I need it - not all at once. Don't refrigerate. Sour Cream Layer - add sugar to scalded milk. Dissolve unflavored gelatin in 1/2 c. cold water. Blend this and sour cream into milk. Add vanilla and mix well. Don't refrigerate. In 9x13 glass pan (I use a 10x14 pan), put 1 Jello color (I use green first, then orange, then yellow and top with red). Refrigerate for 45 min. Then gently pour 1 c. sour cream (or 1 1/4 c. for larger pan) over Jello and refrigerate 35 min. Alternate remaining Jello and sour cream every 35 min. Refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colors: This will make your 7-layer jello more visually appealing.
  • Let each layer chill completely before adding the next one: This will prevent the layers from mixing together.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the jello: This will help you get clean, even slices.
  • Serve the jello chilled: This will help it hold its shape and flavor.
  • Garnish the jello with whipped cream, fruit, or sprinkles: This will add a special touch to your dessert.

Conclusion:

7-layer jello is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a hit with guests. With a few simple tips, you can make a 7-layer jello that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you are looking for a fun and easy dessert, give 7-layer jello a try!
