Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Lemon Jell-O Gelatin (3 oz)
- 1 box Orange Jell-O Gelatin (3 oz)
- 8 oz thawed Cool Whip
- 1 1/3 cups boiling water
- Candy corn (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the lemon jello: In a bowl, combine the lemon Jell-O with 2/3 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then let cool slightly.
- Pour the lemon jello into clear shot glasses, filling each about 1/3 of the way. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, until set.
- While the lemon layer sets, prepare the orange jello: In a separate bowl, combine the orange Jell-O with 2/3 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then let cool slightly.
- Once the lemon layer is set, carefully pour the orange jello on top, filling the glasses another 1/3 of the way. Return to the fridge and chill for another 20-30 minutes.
- After both layers are set, top with Cool Whip, smoothing it to create the final white layer.
- Garnish with a piece of candy corn on top and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Tip: Let the jello cool slightly before layering to prevent colors from mixing.
- You can make this recipe a day ahead, making it perfect for party prep!
- For a fun twist, try using homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip or experiment with different jello flavors.
