- 1 package (3 oz) lime gelatin
- 1 package (3 oz) lemon gelatin
Liquids
- 3 cups boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups cold water

Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the first gelatin flavor according to package instructions by stirring 1 cup boiling water into one package until dissolved, then add about 1/2 cup cold water.
- Pour a thin layer of the first gelatin into each cup and refrigerate until fully set, about 1–2 hours.
- While the first layer sets, dissolve the second gelatin flavor in 1 cup boiling water, stir until dissolved, then add about 1/2 cup cold water and cool slightly before using.
- Repeat with the remaining colors, pouring each layer gently over the back of a spoon and refrigerating until fully set before adding the next layer.
- Once all layers are firm, top with a dollop of whipped cream and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next to avoid blending. Store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
