INSTRUCTIONS

Before You Start

1. You will be making two layers from each box of jello.  Once you do the first one, you'll have the technique down.
2. Use a clear Pyrex dish.  The 9 x 14 size works great for six colors.  If you dish is a little smaller, use 5 colors.
3. I use a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup to boil my water and a second one for pouring off part of the jello.

Making the Layers

• Pour one cup of boiling water over one package of gelatin.  Stir until it is completely dissolved.
• Measure out 3/4cup of the Jello into a second container.  
• To this container, add 1/3 cup of yogurt or sour cream and whisk until it is smooth.
• Pour this into a 9 x 13 clear baking dish and refrigerate until set.
• After 30 minutes, add 2 TBS of cold water to the remaining Jello and pour over the first layer.
• Place dish back into the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to set.
• Repeat the above process for each of the remaining flavors of Jello until all the layers are done.
• Cover with foil and refrigerate.
