RAINBOW RIBBON JELLO



Rainbow Ribbon Jello image

This rainbow ribbon Jello is one of my grandma's signature desserts - she always makes it for Easter and other spring and summer parties. She layers the colors of the rainbow, but you could certainly adapt it to whatever colors you'd like!

Time 9h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 3-ounce boxes (85g) Jello, 1 each red, orange, yellow, green, blue & purple (or colors of your choice)
6 cups boiling water
3 cups cold water
4 cups milk
1 cup boiling water
4 envelopes Knox gelatin
24 ounces vanilla yogurt
1 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Get 6 small bowls out to start. Mix 1 box of Jello with 1 cup boiling water and ½ cup cold water. Do this with all of the colors at the same time.
  • Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat just until it reaches a lukewarm temperature. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together 1 cup boiling water with the envelopes of Knox gelatin. Whisk together until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the warm milk, yogurt, sugar and vanilla extract and whisk until thoroughly combined and completely smooth with no lumps.
  • Pour the first color into a 9x13-inch pan and refrigerate until set (about 45 minutes, but can vary depending on the temperature of your fridge and how full it is). Once it's set, very gently pour 1½ cups of the yogurt mixture on top. Return to the refrigerator for 45 minutes, or until set. Repeat with the colors and yogurt mixture until the last color is used (you will have some yogurt mixture leftover). When finished, refrigerate for at least another hour. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve; refrigerate leftovers.

CLASSIC HOLIDAY RIBBON SQUARES (JELLO)



Classic Holiday Ribbon Squares (Jello) image

This red, white, and green jello is a classic addition to the holiday table (you can switch colors for other occasions). Recipe from "Celebrating 100 years of Jello." I speed-up the chilling time table by setting each bowl/pan over a larger bowl/pan of ice water (lots of ice). I do this with all my Jello and each stage is done in about 15-20 minutes. You need to check for required texture and not go by clock. I love making these layered desserts!

I cut this out of a tast of home magazine. Layers of red and green make this a great holiday dish. Kids find it fun to eat and adults will love the combination of sweet/tart flavors. I have taken it to quite a few family holiday celebratons and I always take home an empty dish. Cooking time is the over night chill in fridge and the time for the lime layer to gel in fridge.
