Ingredients

• 4 packages Jello (different flavors, e.g., cherry, lime, orange, etc.)
• 6 cups Boiling water
• 3 cups Cold water
• 2 cups Sour cream
• 1 spray bottle Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray, ensuring even coverage.

Step 2

Dissolve the first flavor of Jello (e.g., cherry) in 1 1/2 cups of boiling water in a mixing bowl. Stir well until completely dissolved, approximately 2 minutes.

Step 3

Add 3/4 cup of cold water to the dissolved Jello and stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour 1 cup of the liquid Jello mixture into the prepared dish. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes or until set but not firm.

Step 5

To the remaining dissolved Jello, whisk in 1/2 cup of sour cream until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gently pour the sour cream mixture over the set Jello layer, using the back of a spoon to prevent splashing. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until the creamy layer sets.

Step 7

Repeat steps 2 through 6 with the remaining Jello flavors, alternating clear and creamy layers. Be sure to allow each layer to set before adding the next to maintain distinct lines.

Step 8

Once all layers are set, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 9

To serve, slice the Ribbon Jello Salad into squares or rectangles and carefully lift each piece with a spatula to maintain the layered effect.
