Description
Rainbow layered Jello cups are vibrant, no-bake treats made with fruity and creamy Jello layers and optional whipped topping – perfect for birthdays or parties!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 – 3 oz. box jello mix for each color (we used 6 colors: cherry, orange, pineapple, lime, blue berry, and grape)
- 1 cup boiling water per flavor
- 1 cup cold water per flavor
- 6 .25 oz packets clear gelatin
- 3 – 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the packet of purple jello and 1 cup of boiling water in a bowl. Whisk until jello is fully dissolved in the boiling water. Add 1 cup of cold water and stir to combine.
- Pour the jello mixture to fill a thin layer in the bottom of plastic cups (about 1.5 tablespoons per layer). Set the cups inside the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill and set.
- After about 30 minutes, mix together the white layer in thirds. Sprinkle two packets of clear gelatin over 1 cup of cold water in a heat-proof bowl. Whisk together and set aside for 5 minutes. Microwave for 15 seconds and then whisk to dissolve completely. Add 1 cup of cold water and 1 full can of sweetened condensed milk. Whisk to fully combine and check temperature.
- Add a thin layer of the white jello mixture over the purple layer. Return jello cups to the refrigerator to chill until set (another 30 minutes).
- Mix the next layer of jello by dissolving blue jello in 1 cup of boiling water and mixing in 1 cup cold water. Once cooled to room temperature, add a thin layer over the white layer.
- Continue adding white layers and colored layers until finishing with the final red layer of jello. If you use all of the jello from each color, you will need about 3 batches of white jello.
- Whip heavy cream or use canned whipped cream to top the jello cups just before serving.
Notes
- The jello layers set quickly due to their thinness.
- If using tapered cups, adjust the amount of liquid for the bottom layers.
- Mix the white jello in thirds to make it easier to manage.
