Ingredients
Gelatin Layers
- 1 box red gelatin
- 1 box orange gelatin
- 1 box yellow gelatin
- 1 box green gelatin
- 1 box blue gelatin
- 1 box purple gelatin
- 6 cups boiling water
- 6 cups cold water or milk (optional, for creamy layers)
Instructions
- Prepare First Layer: Dissolve one box of gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Set Layer in Cups: Pour a thin layer of the dissolved gelatin into individual cups. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until the layer is fully set.
- Add Subsequent Layers: Repeat the process with each color, preparing each gelatin box in boiling water, then cooling and gently pouring over the set layer. Ensure each layer fully sets in the refrigerator before adding the next layer to prevent mixing.
- Optional Creamy Layers: For a creamy texture, substitute cold water with milk in some layers when dissolving the gelatin.
- Chill Completely: After the final layer, refrigerate the cups for an additional 1–2 hours to ensure all layers are fully firm.
- Serve: Serve chilled as a colorful, delightful dessert.
Notes
- Add condensed milk along with cold milk for creamy, richer layers.
- Be patient and allow each gelatin layer to fully set before adding the next to maintain clear, defined layers.
- Use shallow cups for evenly sized layers.
- Keep gelatin cups refrigerated until serving time for the best texture.
