Rainbow Ribbon Mold

Prep Time: 1 hr min
Total Time: 5 hr 30 min
Makes: 16 servings, 1 slice each (about 1/2 cup)

6-1/4 cups boiling water, divided
5 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Brand Gelatin, any 5 different flavors, divided
1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream or BREYERS Vanilla Lowfat Yogurt, divided

STIR 1-1/4 cups boiling water into 1 pkg. gelatin in small bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Pour 3/4 cup of the dissolved gelatin into 8-cup ring mold sprayed with cooking spray. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched). Refrigerate remaining gelatin in bowl about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Gradually stir in 3 Tbsp. of the sour cream. Spoon over gelatin in pan. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until gelatin is set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched).

REPEAT process with each remaining gelatin flavor. (Be sure to cool dissolved gelatin to room temperature before pouring into mold.) Refrigerate gelatin as directed to create a total of 10 alternating clear and creamy gelatin layers.

REFRIGERATE 2 hours or until firm. Unmold. Cut into 16 slices to serve. Store leftover gelatin
in refrigerator.

How to Unmold Gelatin
Dip mold in warm water for about 15 seconds. Gently pull gelatin from around edge with moist fingers. Place moistened serving plate on top of mold. Invert mold and plate; holding mold and plate together, shake slightly to loosen. Gently remove mold and center gelatin on plate.

*My family loves this recipe, instead of using sour cream I use evaporated milk.

*This is delicious! I use 3 Tbsp. Vanilla Yogurt instead of sour cream. My family's favorite flavor combination is Wild Strawberry, Pineapple and Apricot Jell-o. It's pretty and the flavors taste great together. This is a great side dish at a bridal shower!

*Do suggest letting the first layer sit a bit longer than recipe states... from experience, first layer requires about 25 minutes to set before adding... after that 15 minute intervals is fine. Takes time... but well worth it.
