Ingredients
  • 5 small packages of Jell-O, (I use blue, yellow, green, orange, and red)

  • 1 cup (225 ml) sugar

  • Mix first flavored jello with 1 cup (225 ml) of water. Pour into a large clear pyrex dish which has been greased with a LITTLE margarine and chill in the refrigerator.
  • Next, mix the sugar and milk in medium sauce pan and bring to a slow boil. Add the unflavored gelatin which has been softened in 1/2 cup (125 ml) of cold water.
  • Let this cool a little, then add the sour cream and vanilla.
  • Whip gently with a wire whip to mix well.
  • When first layer of jello is well set, gently pour 1/4 of white mixture over it.
  • Let each layer set up completely before adding next layer.
  • Alternate and chill each of the Jell-O flavors (and colors) and the white creamy mixture.
  • You will end up with 5 colored layers and 4 layers of white.
