How to Make Rainbow Jell O

  1. Prepare six (6) 1-cup portions of Jell-O according to package directions, using different colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet). Allow each layer to completely set before adding the next.
  2. Once the first Jell-O color (red) is slightly thickened (but not fully set), gently pour it into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator to allow the layer to fully set.
  3. Repeat step 2 with the remaining Jell-O colors, allowing each layer to fully set before adding the next. This may take several hours, so plan accordingly.
  4. Once all Jell-O layers have completely set, carefully run a thin knife around the edges of the dessert to loosen it from the dish.
  5. Invert the dessert onto a serving platter and admire your colorful creation!
  6. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with whipped cream or fresh fruit if desired.
