Cinder Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I just called my Mom and she was saying today was her day to make Rainbow Jello. This recipe sounds like what I remember of it. It's not difficult, just time consuming. Google Rainbow Jello--you'll get a ton of options. ETA: I just realized you said whipped cream. This may not be the recipe you're looking for then.

Tammyla Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 An easy way to layer is to cut the jello into cubes. Then layer away what ever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I'm making this right now. It's three layers, although one could alternate the whipped cream and jello layers an extra time for a trifle bowl. (Pretzels can only be on the bottom layer, or they get soggy.) ----------------------- PRETZEL JELLO SALAD 3 c. crushed pretzels (small pieces, not all ground to fine dust) 6 T. butter 3 T. + 3/4 c. sugar 8 oz. softened cream cheese 8 oz. Cool Whip 1 large package raspberry jello 2 c. boiling water 2 small packages (or 1 large) frozen raspberries Melt butter. Add 3 T. sugar and pretzels. Spread into 9x13 pan. Bake at 350 for 13 mins. Cool. (Hmm. Maybe you can only do this in a 9x13 glass pan, since it bakes in the oven for the crust.) Beat cream cheese and 3/4 c. sugar until well blended. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread over cooled pretzel crust. Be sure to seal the edges, completely covering the crust, and going all the way to the edges. (Sealing well ensures a crisp crust!) Mix jello and boiling water, stirring until dissolved. Add frozen raspberries (they will thaw). Pour over cream cheese mixture, and chill until set. Serves 12. ------------------------- Your really do want to go to the store this afternoon?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow Jello is simple, but impressive. Kids LOVE it! Here is a photo of one I made. The recipe I used had you do a clear layer and then mix some with sour cream for an opaque layer. It was more like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
