Rainbow Jell-O Eggs

Easter is quickly approaching and I want to share this little treat before it's too late. You will need a special Jell-O egg mold that can be purchased at jello.com for this fun recipe. This is by far my daughters favorite Holiday recipe to make! It's the first thing eaten at every Easter party I've ever taken it to. I first saw this recipe at Porter House and knew I had to try it when I saw all of those beautiful layers!

Rainbow Jell-O Eggs 

You will need:
A pot of boiling water (about 8.5 cups)
6 boxes of Jell-O the colors of the rainbow (ROY G BIV)
A syringe
3-4 Jell-O egg molds
1.5 cups sour cream, cool-whip or smooth and creamy yogurt

Line up your boxes of gelatin in rainbow order next to 5 large cups or bowls. Put each flavor of gelatin in its own bowl or cup. Stir 1.25 cups boiling water into each flavor at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Do this one at a time, to make sure each is completely dissolved.
Spray your egg molds with cooking spray very generously. 
Fill molds using a clean syringe with your first color (I start with red) making each layer about 1/4” thick. Keep other colors covered with plastic wrap
Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes or until tacky
Meanwhile, stir in 2 Tbsp. of the yogurt, sour cream or cool whip into the remaining dissolved gelatin. Use a small whisk or fork to get out all the lumps. The last five minutes or so before the first layer is ready you place the light layer in the fridge to thicken. When the first layer is set but still tacky you pour the light color over the dark color. It is important not to wait too long. If the layers are too set they might separate when unmolded. Also, don't squirt the second layer on too hard because you may break the other layers and the colors will run together.
Repeat this process with the remaining colors.
When you finish with your last layer, refrigerate overnight.
The next day fill a bowl with hot water. Carefully dip the molds into the hot water for about 10 seconds. Do not let any water get into the molds, and don't dip too long because the eggs will melt.
Open the molds and you will be looking at these little gems:

I love this recipe! It is time consuming, but the result is so beautiful. Next time I am going to try to get the orange layer to be more distinct, but other than that I am so happy with the way these came out!
