The best way to surprise guests or delight children is to prepare a delicious, unusual dessert. But searching for such a dish often leaves a hostess disappointed, as finding the ingredients for the recipe proves impossible or prohibitively expensive. There's a surprising recipe for sweet jelly that will not only satisfy your taste buds but also look stunning on your table. Exquisite multi-colored jelly can be made from the simplest ingredients without much financial expense.

Different cooking methods

Making rainbow jelly is very easy. Most often, you use regular food-grade gelatin and colorful juices, or you can use fruit puree instead of juice. You can also simply buy ready-made gelatin mixes in different flavors and shades.

Multicolored jelly is prepared in stages. Pour a thin layer of one color, then another, and you can use as many shades as you like. The more you add, the merrier the dessert, and such a sweet rainbow will delight the whole family. You can make a different dish each time and take a collection of photos as a keepsake. Two or three colors are enough to create a wonderful treat.

Three-layered pleasure

Although the recipe is simple, it's still helpful to have some cooking instructions. First, to make three layers, you'll need:

  • red jelly powder mix (you can use raspberries, strawberries, cherries) – 1 packet;
  • the same component, but orange in color (orange, tangerine) – 1 packet;
  • another bag, but this time green (kiwi, lime) – 1 pc.;
  • hot water – 400 ml for each mixture.

This recipe will make about 10 servings of delicious dessert.

Step-by-step instructions

Three-layer jelly

  1. Dissolve the packet of red powder in hot water. It's best to use a deep container for this. Gradually add the powder to the water, stirring well to prevent the gelatin from clumping. Otherwise, you'll catch unpleasant parts of the dessert, which could affect its appearance.
  2. The dissolved gelatin mixture is poured into glasses in equal portions. It's important to do this evenly.
  3. The next step can be done after the first layer has completely set. The glasses should sit in the refrigerator for about two hours. You can check with your finger if the mixture has become firm. If so, proceed to the next step.
  4. Using the same principle as the first layer, create the second mixture—orange. Let it cool slightly. Then pour the orange jelly evenly over the red.
  5. After repeating the solidification process, the jelly is completed with a third green layer.
  6. Store the jelly in the refrigerator to prevent the colors from mixing. When serving it to your loved ones, you can garnish the dessert with fresh berries.

The recipe isn't complicated, it's just that the jelly setting process takes a while. Don't forget to show off your amazing dessert to your friends. Take a photo for your friend so the recipe is crystal clear.

If you're making individual jelly, you'll need a square pan. Layered jelly looks especially good in a square pan. This rainbow-like effect on the table will delight everyone.

You can coat the bottom of the pan with non-stick spray or a little butter. Then follow the recipe's step-by-step instructions.

  1. Gelatin is dissolved in cold boiled water, after which it is poured with a glass of boiling water.
  2. Carefully add the red powder, stirring constantly. Each recipe suggests using different fruits with a red tint.
  3. Pour the mixture into the mold and refrigerate until it sets completely.
  4. The next layers are up to your imagination. You can use condensed milk.

The first recipe gives instructions for preparing the jelly mixture. When pouring the layers, be sure to puncture any bubbles. Then, apply yellow, green, or red again—as your heart and mood dictate. Capturing your masterpiece in a photo will give you many more reasons to cherish this wonderful dessert.

After preparing this dessert, the recipe recommends removing it from the refrigerator and placing it in hot water or steam for a few seconds. To avoid spoiling the appearance, make sure no water gets inside the mold.

The jelly is cut into beautifully shaped portions and served straight from the refrigerator. Experience the rainbow for yourself with our recipe for an unforgettable dessert.
