Stained Glass Jello
Grab your kids and get them in the kitchen! There’s no better, quicker, or easier way to bring together a bunch of children and get them making something yummy and pretty than Stained Glass Jello. A perfect accompaniment to Easter meals, Sunday dinners, and springtime buffets.
Stained Glass Jell-O
For the colored pieces:
- 4 packets jello in varying colors
- 4 cups boiling water
- 3 cups ice cold water
For the white outer layer
- 3 packets Knox gelatin
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup vanilla greek yogurt
Pour each of the colored jello packets into a medium, glass or ceramic bowl. Whisk 1 cup of boiling water into each of the bowls. Once the gelatin powder has dissolved, whisk 3/4 cups of ice-cold water into each bowl. Cover the bowls tightly with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to set, about 1 hour.
Once the colored jello has set, remove it from the fridge and use a butter knife to slice each bowl into several splintered pieces. Place 1 cup of water in a large bowl and sprinkle the gelatin on top, allow it to sit and soften for 1 minute, then whisk in the boiling water and sugar. Whisk in the yogurt and stir until smooth. Pour this mixture into a 9×13 pyrex pan. Carefully drop the stained glass jello pieces into the white gelatin mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, return to the fridge, and refrigerate for an additional hour until set.

Kate commented on Mar 22 11 at 8:28 pmThis looks like fun to make with kids. I will have to try it. It reminds me of a layered jello my mom would make when I was a kid and it took her forever because you had to set each layer before you could add the next. This is a much easier and just as colorful alternative.
