Let's be honest: I love jello. It's a weakness. Whenever I was a kid, Jello came up with the Jello "jiggler" idea and I was sold. I've always thought Jello was awesome...and this is the ultimate summer Jello dessert. You can use any kind of jello you want, which makes this dish perfect for just about any occasion. For instance, if I took this to my family's Italian Picnic at the end of summer, I would maybe only use red and green jello. Or if this was for my sister's graduation from Virginia Tech, I would have used dark red and orange jello. See what I'm saying? It's versatile and delicious. Although if you are not making this dish for a specific event, follow my "suggestion" for flavors below. It's a proven winner. Plus, once this is finished, it's absolutely beautiful.
6 small boxes of jello, any flavors (my favorite combo is cherry, orange, lemon, lime, blue raspberry, and grape)
2 cups sour cream
Dissolve 1 box of jello with 1 cup boiling water. Take out 1/3 cup of the jello mix and combine with 1/3 cup of sour cream; whisk together and set aside. Pour the clear layer of jello in a 9x13 inch glass pan. Let this layer gel (it will be very thin, but it needs to be firm). Once the first layer is gelled, pour the jello/sour cream mixture over top and let this layer gel. Repeat the above steps with the remaining 5 boxes of jello. Be sure to let each gel layer set before adding the next layer. This is time consuming, but once the first layer is set, the others will set quickly.
