Five Layer Jello Dessert Recipe
The easiest way to make layered jello is to use various contrasting jello flavors and colors and make each layer once the previous layer has set. The layered jello must be set before you pour on another layer. If you are not sure whether or not it has set, give it another half an hour. One layer leaking into the next will ruin the whole look, so take care when making this layered jello dessert or other layered jello recipes. You do not want four perfect layers, then a fifth layer leaking through into the fourth one!
The following layered jello dessert recipe has five layers of jello and includes cream so the layers are opaque rather than transparent. You can cut the finished jello into layered jello bars or circles. Maybe you have made strawberry whip cream jello dessert before but with this recipe for layered jello, and some other jello recipes, you can be as creative with the flavors as you like.
Learning to make layered jello is great because you can make this complicated-looking dessert, knowing that the process is actually really simple. How could anyone not be impressed with this wonderful recipe for layered jello? Kids especially find layered jello bars really magical and you can get creative with jello colors and flavors.

Photo Description:
The whipping cream in this layered jello recipe makes the jello layers opaque instead of clear. These layered jello bars are full of flavor - five fruity flavors to be exact - and if you use sugar free jello, it will have hardly any calories in it either. For a firmer layered jello, only use half as much cold water as the recipe tells you. This means you can eat it with your fingers instead of serving it with forks or spoons.
