Carolyn's Rainbow Ribbon Jell-O Cake


Carolyn made this for Thanksgiving dinner today then sent me the recipe so it's her recipe now hehehe. It looks lovely :-)

You need:

  • A 2L Bunt Pan or ring mould


Ingredients:

  • 5 packages of different kind of Jell-O
  • 15 tbsp. vanilla ice cream

Preparation:

  • Dissolve 1 pkg of Jell-O in 1 1/4 cups of boiling water
  • Pour 3/4 of the Jell-O into the ring mould. Chill until set but not firm (about 20 minutes) This is your first layer
  • Leave the remaining Jell-O out on the counter and once it cools to room temp (about 15 min) mix (whisk) in 3 tbsp. of the ice cream into the Jell-O. Spoon the Jell-O with the ice cream into the mould on top of the first layer. This now creates the second layer.
  • Chill again now for about an hour
  • Dissolve next pkg. of Jell-O in 1 1/4 cups of boiling water once that is mixed take 3/4's of a cup of the Jell-O and set aside, let cool (about 10 minutes) so that when you pour it on the 2nd layer it does not dissolve the other Jell-O layers.
  • Repeat steps 1-5 for the next 4 pkg's of Jell-O.
  • Once all the Jell-O is in the ring mould chill overnight.
  • To unmould, dip mould in warm water for about 10 seconds. Gently pull Jell-O from around edges with moist fingers. Place moistened serving plate on top of mould. Invert mould and plate; holding mould and plate together, shake slightly to loosen. Gently remove mould and centre Jell-O on the plate.
