Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3 ounces red jello cherry or strawberry
  • 3 ounces orange jello
  • 3 ounces yellow jello lemon
  • 3 ounces green jello lime
  • 3 ounces blue jello
  • 3 ounces purple jello grape
  • 16 ounces cool whip
  • 12 chocolate coins

Instructions

  • Chose the color you want on the bottom (in this case purple).
  • Dissolve jello as directed on the box using the “quick chill” method (which includes some ice).
  • Once dissolved, pour the liquid into your glasses, reserving about 1/3 of the jello liquid.  Put all of the glasses in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes, until jello is slightly set.
  • Mix about 1/3 cup cool whip (sour cream or yogurt) into the remaining jello liquid. 
  • Pour cool whip/jello mixture on top of partially set first layer.  Place all cups in the refrigerator and allow to set (at least 15-30 minutes) while you mix the next color.
  • Repeat process with each color, allowing each layer to set 15-30 minutes before adding another layer.  The total process will take several hours.
  • Top the finished rainbow jello with a dollop of cool whip, or whipped cream and add a chocolate gold coin.
