Ingredients

  • 3 oz Red Jello
  • 3 oz Orange Jello
  • 3 oz Yellow Jello
  • 3 oz Green Jello
  • 3 oz Blue Jello
  • 3 oz Purple Jello
  • 16 oz Cool Whip 2 containers

Instructions

  • Open up the box of purple Jello and follow the directions on the box for making it using the quick set method. Reserve ⅓ of the Jello you make to use later to make the cream. Pour the rest into your cups.
  • Put in the refrigerator to set for 20-25 minutes. While the purple layer is setting you can get the cream layer ready. Use the jello you set aside and add ⅓ a cup of cool whip. Mix until blended.
  • Pour in approximately a tablespoon of cream per cup or you will run out of cream. Pour the spoonful of cream into the cup and tilt it around so it covers the Jello completely.
  • After you add your cream layer, put all the cups back in the refrigerator so the cream layer can set. This takes between 15-20 minutes. You will need to put cups in the refrigerator to set after adding every new Jello color and after each color of cream.
  • Repeat for each color of Jello that you will be using.

Notes

  • You will want to make sure the cream has set before pouring your next color of Jello on top. Even when it has set, you need to be careful adding the Jello to the cup. Pour it slowly and distribute it evenly in the cup. If you do it too quickly and all in one spot, it can make a hole in the cream layer resulting in bits of cream floating into your next layer.
  • If any of your cups have bubbles on top, pop them before you put them in the refrigerator.
  • You don't want to put in too much or there will not be room for all of the colors and cream. Of course the bigger the cup the more Jello and cream you can fit.
