So, this is probably our most asked for recipe. We make it for every special occasion. (It became known affectionately in Heather's family as "baptism jello" because her mom made it for every family baptism). We have made it every year at Lilly's birthday party, and we think it tastes awesome, and looks even better!!!! Be warned that this recipe, while really quite easy, takes a good 5-6 hours to make, since each layer of jello has to set individually, so plan your time accordingly.
16 ounce carton plain yogurt
one three-ounce package of jello in each of the following flavors:
1. Black Cherry
2. Raspberry
3. Strawberry
4. Orange
5. Lemon
6. Lime
To Start: Dissolve the package of Black Cherry Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Set 1/2 cup of dissolved jello aside and add 3 tablespoons cold water. To the remaining 1/2 cup, add 1/3 cup of the plain yogurt and stir. In a 9x13 pan, pour the dissolved jello (with yogurt) into the pan, popping any bubbles that appear with a toothpick or fork. Chill for 20-30 minutes or until set. When set, carefully pour dissolved black cherry jello (without yogurt) over top, again popping bubbles that may appear. Chill another 20-30 minutes, or until set.
Repeat this process with each flavor of jello (in exact order- important in order for the jello to look right!), ending with lime layer on top. We usually top it with Cool Whip. We hope you love it as much as we do!!!

I'll bet this is as pretty to the eye as it is delightful to the palate.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like alot of fun. I tried rainbow cake not too long ago and turned out great.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see pictures of your rainbow jello though.
