12 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
15¼ cup Boiling water
5 packs Jell-o brand gelatin dessert; (4 svg. size) any 5 different flavors
1 cup Breakstone's sour cream (1/2 pint); OR Breyers vanilla lowfat yogurt

Directions

STIR 1¼ cups boiling water into 1 flavor of gelatin in small bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Pour ¼ cup of the dissolved gelatin into 6-cup ring mold. Refrigerate about 15 minutes until set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched and should mound).

Refrigerate remaining gelatin in bowl about 5 minutes until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Gradually stir in 3 tablespoons of the sour cream. Spoon over gelatin in pan. Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until set but not firm (gelatin should stick to finger when touched and should mound).

MEANWHILE, repeat process with each remaining gelatin flavor. (Be sure to cool dissolved gelatin to room temperature before pouring into mold.) Refrigerate gelatin as directed to create a total of 10 alternating clear and creamy gelatin layers.

REFRIGERATE 2 hours or until firm. Unmold. Garnish as desired.

Happily scanned and "Busted" by Pamela Creeden April 16, 1998 NOTES : Gelatin recipes with layers of different flavors and textures date back to the early 1900's when they were called Neapolitans. They were often molded in loaf pans and served in slices to show the rainbow effect.

A real showpiece for a buffet or dinner party.
