📝 Ingredients:

  • 5 different colors/flavors of gelatin mix (like strawberry, orange, lemon, lime, blueberry)
  • 5 cups boiling water (1 cup per gelatin pack)
  • 5 cups cold water (1 cup per gelatin pack)
  • Whipped cream or vanilla yogurt (optional, for layering or topping)

  • Clear plastic cups or a glass dish for serving

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prepare the first layer:
Mix one pack of gelatin with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Add 1 cup cold water and mix. Pour a thin layer into cups or a glass dish and refrigerate until set (about 30–45 minutes).

2. Repeat with remaining colors:
Once the first layer is set, prepare the next flavor and carefully pour over the previous layer. Repeat the process for all colors, chilling each layer before adding the next.

3. Add optional creamy layers:
For a fun twist, alternate some layers with whipped cream or vanilla yogurt for a “cloud” effect between the colors.

4. Chill and serve:
Once all layers are set, top with whipped cream, sprinkles, or fruit pieces. Serve chilled and enjoy!
