Rainbow Jello Mold

I was browsing pinterest and saw this beautiful desert and just could not resist it.

Ingredients

3 oz. package of gelatin - 7 packages

1 purple 

1 blue 

1 green 

1 yellow 

1 orange 

2 red 

Vanilla yogurt - 1.5 cup 

Boiling water  - 8¾ cup 

Steps

1. Dump your gelatin powder into 6 individual containers. 

2. Stir 1¼ cups boiling water into each flavor (2½ cups for the red). Stir each until gelatin is completely dissolved.

3.Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray, this will help the Jello mold release easily once it is set. Add ¾ cup of your purple gelatin into the pan and then place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Make sure you set a timer for each layer as knowing when to add the next layer is very critical. You must chill each layer long enough to partially set, but not too long otherwise the next layer will not adhere. 

4. Take the remaining purple gelatin and add 1½ Tablespoons of the yogurt and stir until completely dissolved. Make sure there are no yogurt lumps left.

5. Once your timer goes off, test the gelatin in the pan to make sure it is set enough to take the next layer. You will test this by lightly touching the jello with a finger tip and lifting up right away. The jello should stick to your finger (not liquid) and leave a slight impression in the jello. If you have that, then you are ready to add your next layer. Now you want to add your yogurt mixture. With a spoon very GENTLY and SLOWLY add your yogurt mixture to the set jello layer. Make sure your spoon is nice and low when you are adding the yogurt mixture. This will ensure you don't break through the bottom layer when you pour it in. Place back into the refrigerator for another 15 minutes. 

6. Complete this same process with the rest of your colors. Red will be your last layer, which will be a double layer. Use 1½ cups of the liquid jello for the clear layer and 1 cup mixed with 5 Tablespoons yogurt for the creamy layer. Your cooling time will lessen with each layer added as the cooler the jello gets, the less time it takes to set. Also, each layer gets thinner and thinner so will chill quicker. So each layer might not take the entire 15 minutes. 

7. When you are ready to release the mold, simply fill your sink with warm (not hot) water. The water should cover the majority of the bundt pan, but should not come all the way to the top. You do not want any water to get into the jello mold. Let your mold sit in the warm water for about 10-15 seconds. You will see the side of the jello get a little shiny and liquefy slightly. That is a good sign that the jello has separated from the mold. Once you see that, take your mold out of the water and dry off the pan. Take the plate that you will be serving the jello on (should be flat and at least 2-3 inches wider than your mold) and sprinkle a couple drops of water around where the jello will be touching the plate. This will allow the jello to adjust and spread a little once it is released. Now place the lightly moistened plate over the jello mold. With a good grip on the mold and plate, flip the plate and mold over. Slowly lift your mold and the jello should release easily. If any water has accumulated on the plate around the jello, simply take a paper towel and wipe until clean and dry. 

8. Keep refrigerated.
