Isn't this the coolest thing ever?! Layered Jello in all sorts of colors and flavors!
This is one of the many desserts I made for my daughter's first birthday party. I wanted to make a dessert that was eye catching and of course, yummy. At first, I was going to make peach jello cups, but they weren't any fun. They would've went well with the color theme (which I'll have to post about her birthday theme another time), but then I wasn't sure if they'd all be eaten. So, I stuck with this idea of layering different jello flavors instead, and I'm very glad I did. It was a hit! Everyone loved them. They weren't too sweet either. I layered them in the perfect size party cups that weren't too big or too small so that smaller kids were able to finish it, and adults felt like it was just enough for them. They weren't filled to the very top, but that was fine. I made about 30 cups. I can't say if that was enough though. Even though it was just enough for the adults, we secretly wanted a second cup, lol. I can't remember where I got the recipe from, but I listed a recipe from Tried and True cooking with Heidi. It looks similar to the one I followed.
This dessert doesn't have to be made on special occasions only. It's great for any time, any day. Just make sure you have a dollop of whipped cream with it! Try it out and let me know how you or your kids liked it.
