Red, White and Blue Jello Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 3 oz boxes berry blue jello
  • 2 3 oz boxes raspberry jello
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 4 c. boiling water
  • 2 c. crushed ice
  • 1/2 c. cold water
  • 2 c. milk
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 c. sour cream
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • one 10-inch bundt pan If you use any smaller you’ll end up having to pour some of each color out or it will be too much for the pan. I recommend using at least a 10-inch pan.

Instructions

  • In a glass measuring bowl, pour out both of the berry blue jello powder packages and add 2 cups of boiling water. Stir together till all the granules are dissolved. Then add 1 cup of ice and stir till it’s all melted.
  • Spray the bundt pan generously with cooking spray. Pour the blue jello into the bundt pan and place it in the freezer for 20 minutes or until the jello is set.
  • Rinse out your glass measuring bowl (Or grab another one, up to you!) and combine the 2 packages of unflavored gelatin with 1/2 c. cold water. Stir it well to combine. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  • Pour the milk in a medium sauce pan. Heat till it starts to simmer. Then add sugar and the set gelatin. Stir well to combine.
  • Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream and the vanilla. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture come to room temperature. If you need to hurry it along, go ahead and place it in the fridge. But be careful not to leave it in too long or it will start to set up.
  • Take the bundt pan out of the freezer and test it to make sure it is set. Using a large spoon, carefully pour the cooled white mixture onto the blue layer of jello. Put the pan back in the freezer so the white layer can set. This should only take another 20 minutes.
  • Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the raspberry jello packages, as in step 1. Stir well till all of the jello has dissolved. Pour 1 cup of ice into the mixture. Stir until the ice has melted.
  • When the white layer has set up, carefully pour the red mixture over top. Cover the pan and chill for at least 3 hours. (I recommend making this the night before you need it to ensure it is nice and set up.)
  • Time to take it out of the pan! Place a large plate or serving tray over top of the opening of the pan. Then invert the pan and the jello will slide right out.
