How to Make 8 Layer Jello Salad

1. Dissolve 1 (3 ounce) package of Jell-O (any flavor, or mix and match for a colorful effect) in 1 3/4 cups of boiling water.
2. Pour into a 9x13 inch baking pan and refrigerate until completely set.
3. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups milk and 1 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
4. Remove from heat immediately once boiling begins.
5. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes (7 grams each) unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
6. Slowly whisk the bloomed gelatin into the hot milk mixture until completely dissolved.
7. Let the mixture cool slightly (until lukewarm). Stir in 1 cup sour cream and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix well.
8. Pour 1 cup of the milk mixture over the set Jell-O layer in the pan. Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour, or until set.
9. Carefully pour the next Jell-O layer (prepared as in step 1 with a different flavor if desired) over the set milk layer. Refrigerate for approximately 1 hour, or until set.
10. Continue layering Jell-O and milk mixture, alternating until all 8 layers are complete. Refrigerate overnight for best results.
11. For a festive touch, use a star-shaped cookie cutter to serve individual portions.
