St. Patrick's Day {Rainbow Jello Trifle}

Making "rainbow food" seems to be quite popular lately...cakes, cupcakes, candies, and jello are just to name a few. I love the idea of the rainbow jello so I made a Rainbow Trifle for our St. Patrick's Day dessert.

I admit there's a mistake here because I didn't follow the directions closely on the white layers. You will notice mine are a bit 'lumpy', the white layers should be smooth. (It still tastes the same, but next time I'll give myself more time and be more precise). So read ALL the directions before making :) ...

You will need:

• 6 - 6oz boxes of Jell-O 
• Cherry
• Orange
• Lemon
• Lime
• Blue Raspberry
• Grape 
• (Use any flavors you like as long as the colors are Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Violet)
• 2 boxes of Unflavored Gelatin (such as Knox)
• 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (I used 2 cans)
• 1 large Trifle Bowl or dessert bowl

Step 1:

• Mix 3 envelopes (there's 4 envelopes in each box) of unflavored Knox Gelatin with 1 1/2 cups of boiling water
• Mix until gelatin dissolves
• Add 1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk
• Mix until combined well
• Set Aside

Step 2:

• Make your Grape Jell-O Using the quick method on the back of the Jell-O box (You can use which ever flavor you want. I wanted Violet to be my first layer.)
• Pour the Grape Jell-O into your Trifle bowl
• Place in the refrigerator and let set for 20-25 minutes

If you do not use the quick method, you will need more time to let the Jell-O layers set

Step 3:

• Pour 1/3 cup of the Sweetened Condensed Milk mixture on top of the set Jell-O (you may want to use more depending on how thick you want the layer)
• Place in the refrigerator and let set for 10-15 minutes

NOTE: The condensed milk mixture that you have made and set aside will most likely solidify while sitting out. So place the mixture in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to liquefy again (this is where I made my mistake in the first few layers..it was all clumpy - still tastes good..but would look much nicer if I did it correctly)

Repeat Steps 2 and 3 alternating Jell-0 and Sweetened Condensed Milk mixture. If you run out of the sweetened condensed milk mixture (like I did), just make a second batch using Step 1.

Once you've finished all layers, top the Trifle with dollops of Whipped Topping and Garnish with Chocolate Candy Coins (If you want).

Happy St. Patrick's Day !!
