Make this in a clear dish! It is SO pretty and people will be asking how you cut the Jello into such thin and even layers! Cooking time is total time for all the layers to set. Each layer takes about 30-45 minutes to set so it is best to place the white mixture over a pot of hot water to prevent it from getting hard while you are waiting for the Jello to harden.
Ingredients:
4 (3 ounce) packages jello gelatin (each a different color, i usually use red, green, orange and yellow)
4 cups boiling water
2 1/4 cups cold water
1 pint sour cream
2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes gelatin
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

3. When mixture is fairly cool, pour 1-1/2 cups on top of first Jello layer; return pan to refrigerator until white layer is firm and completely set.
4. Mix next package of Jello as indicated in step 1; pour onto completely set white layer; return to refrigerator and allow to set completely.
