Ingredients:

To make a beautiful rainbow jelly, you will need the following ingredients:

• 6 different colors of flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, orange, lemon, lime, blueberry, grape)
• Water
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Unflavored gelatin (optional, for a more stable set)
• Whipped cream or yogurt (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-step guide on making Rainbow Jelly:

Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin Layers:

To achieve the rainbow effect, you’ll create individual layers of colored gelatin. Follow the instructions on the flavored gelatin packages for each color, adjusting the water quantity as per the recipe. Use separate bowls for each color to avoid mixing them prematurely. Pour the dissolved gelatin mixtures into individual containers (small glasses or molds), making sure to fill each container about one-third full.

Step 2: Setting the Layers:

Place the containers with the first layer of gelatin in the refrigerator and let them set for about 20-30 minutes or until they are firm to the touch but not completely set. This will ensure that the layers don’t blend together while adding the subsequent ones.

Step 3: Adding the Condensed Milk Layer (Optional):

For a lovely contrast to the colorful layers, you can add a creamy condensed milk layer between each colored layer. To do this, mix sweetened condensed milk with a small amount of hot water and unflavored gelatin (if using). Stir until the gelatin dissolves completely. Let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it gently over the first colored layer. The condensed milk layer should be about the same thickness as the colored layers.

Step 4: Repeat with the Remaining Colors:

Repeat steps 1 to 3 with the remaining colors, allowing each layer to set partially before adding the next one. Remember to let the condensed milk layer cool slightly before pouring the next colored layer.

Step 5: Chill and Set:

Once all the layers are added, refrigerate the rainbow jelly containers for at least 3-4 hours or until they are fully set and firm.

Step 6: Unmold and Serve:

To unmold the rainbow jelly, gently run a knife around the edges of each container to loosen it. Dip the bottom of the container in warm water for a few seconds to help release the jelly. Invert the container onto a serving plate, and the jelly should come out easily.

Step 7: Garnish and Enjoy:

For an extra touch of indulgence, top the rainbow jelly with a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt. The vibrant colors and delicious flavors of the rainbow jelly will enchant everyone at the table.
