12 Layer Jello


Every time I eat this Jello I feel like I am diving into a bowl of fruit loops!  It takes a bit of time to make but the end results are fantastic!  Every one I have made this for loves it and wants the recipe.  Use what ever flavors you like the best....just try to follow the color pattern.....or not!
As each layer is setting you have time to go for a short walk, do some laundry, read a book or work on your blog!  Hahaha!!  It really only takes about 15-20 minutes for each layer.
12 layer jello


1 (3oz.) jello each: Lime, lemon, orange, strawberry, raspberry, blackberry (use what ever brand you have available)
1 (16oz.) sour cream
1 pint whipping cream

For each layer, dissolve a pkg. of jello in 1 c. boiling water. (I like to use a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup so I can heat the water in the microwave each time and it is easier to measure out half into another bowl.)

Divide jello in half.

To first half, add 1/3 c. sour cream and 1 T. cold water.



Pour into a 9x13 pan and place in refrigerator to set. (you could even use individual glass serving containers to make it even more fun!!)


To the other half, add 4 T. cold water.  Do not refrigerate yet.

When the other half is set, pour this jello on top and set in refrigerator. ( It is good to use a spoon as you pour each level to break the flow so as not to put a hole in the last layer.  Sorry I had to use one hand to take the picture! :0)

Continue with each flavor of jello.  Be sure each color has enough time to set, or the layers will mix into each other.


Top with whipped cream and watch all the smiles appear!  :0)

WARNING! If you make this dish and take it to a office party, picnic, or any other public function, you might as well plan on making it for the rest of your mortal existence! Yes, it is that good!
