Tips:

Choose the Right Jell-O Flavors: Opt for complementary flavors that blend well together like lemon-lime, strawberry-banana, orange-pineapple, or grape-blueberry.
Use Clear Jell-O: Clear Jell-O allows the colors to shine through more vibrantly, creating a more striking rainbow effect.
Chill Each Layer Thoroughly: Make sure each layer is completely chilled and set before adding the next one. This prevents the layers from mixing and ensures a clean, defined rainbow pattern.
Don't Overmix the Cool Whip: Overmixing can cause the Cool Whip to lose its fluffy texture and become runny. Gently fold it in until just combined.
Chill the Rainbow Jell-O Overnight: Allow the rainbow Jell-O to chill in the refrigerator overnight or for at least 4 hours before serving. This ensures that it is fully set and has developed its full flavor.

Rainbow Jell-O with Cool Whip is a delightful dessert that is sure to impress your guests with its vibrant colors and refreshing taste.
