12 Layer Rainbow Jello

This 12 layer Jello is always so much fun to make. It is a rainbow of six different colors. It does take quite a while to make it, just because every layer needs to set, but it always gets quite the reaction from everyone who sees it and it is delicious too!

Ingredients

  • A large tub of sour cream
  • 6 small boxes of Jello purple, blue, green, red, orange, yellow

Instructions

  • Dissolve your first box of Jello in 1 cup of boiling water.
  • Separate the dissolved Jello in half, into two bowls.
  • Add two tablespoons of cold water to one and then put that bowl into a clear 9×13 pan.
  • Place the pan flat in the fridge and allow to set for 30 minutes.
  • When the 30 minutes is up add 1/3 of a cup of sour cream to the other bowl of Jello that has been sitting at room temperature.
  • Mix until well combined.
  • Pour the new layer of Jello in the 9×13 pan and place back in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Repeat until you have all 12 layers.
  • Make sure the pan is as flat as possible when you put it in the fridge so your rainbow doesn’t turn out crooked.
