This is probably, hands down, my favorite dessert. My mom has made it for years for holidays (changing up the colors for Christmas etc.) and this is my first time attempting to make it myself. I doubled the batch because 1. there will be a lot of people and 2. I absolutely love it and wanted to make sure I had some for me. My major issue was the colors ran on two of the batches. You can see some white in the red in the bowl. I am going to cover it with cool whip and then you won’t be able to see that. I do have another container I used and that one ran a little more… oops! I did make sure that the layer underneath felt solid and cured, but I guess it even has to be cured more. It says about an hour between layers but I would wait a little longer.
The recipe is here from Taste of Home. It is a really simple recipe to follow and looks amazing. You can do it without the blue berries/ raspberries if you want and you can do it with Strawberry jello instead of Raspberry.
Prep Time: 30+ Minutes + Chilling // Serves: 14-16
Supplies Needed:
- 3 oz Berry Blue Gelatin
- 3 oz Raspberry Gelatin
- 1 Envelope unflavored Gelatin
- 2 Cups Boiling Water, divided
- 2.5 Cups Cold Water, divided
- 1 Cup Fresh Blueberries
- 1 Cup Fresh Raspberries
- 1 Cup heavy Whipping Cream
- 6 Tbl Sugar
- 2 Cups (16oz) Sour Cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Any additional Whipped Toppings or Berries
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve berry blue gelatin in 1 cup boiling water; stir in 1 cup cold water. Add blueberries. Pour into a 3-qt. serving bowl. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water; let stand for 1 minute. Add the cream and sugar; cook and stir over low heat until gelatin and sugar are completely dissolved. cool to room temperature. Whisk in sour cream and vanilla. Spoon over the blue layer. Refrigerate until firm.
3. In a large bowl, dissolve raspberry gelatin in remaining hot water; stir in remaining cold water. Add raspberries. Spoon over cream layer. Chill until set. Garnish with whipped topping and additional berries if desired.
That sounds so yummy! Thank you for sharing!
