Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (3 oz) red jello (strawberry or cherry flavor)
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water (for white layer)
- 1 box (3 oz) blue jello (blue raspberry flavor)
- 1 cup boiling water (for blue layer)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the red layer by dissolving the red jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Pour into clear cups, filling them one-third full, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set.
- For the white layer, combine 1/2 cup cold water with 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin in a bowl. Stir until dissolved, then add 1 cup of boiling water along with sugar to taste. Let cool slightly before gently pouring on top of the set red layer. Chill again for about 1 hour.
- Repeat step 1 with blue jello using the same method as for the red layer. Carefully pour over the white layer once set.
- After the blue layer has set (approximately another hour), top each cup with whipped cream before serving.
