Rainbow Ribbon Mold

I have made this several times and it is a show stopper! This is what I found to be helpful. I mix up the 5 jello flavors right from the start. I line up the containers and divide the jello and add the milk mixture, respectively, so it is all ready to go and it can come to room temperature. It won't hurt the jello to sit out and you can throw it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes while the previous layer is setting up. That way, you have the right consistency and it seems less hectic. I chose to use sweetened condensed milk as I never have coconut milk, but I think I will use it next time. I think the colors would be more vibrant. The sweetened condensed milk is sort of yellow and dilutes the true color of the jello. I doubt if anyone eating it cares about it, but I think the presentation would only be that much more astounding. Love this recipe!

How lovely this looked on my Easter dinner table. The kids oohhhhed and aahhhhed over it. It is definately time consuming but well worth it. I plan on making this for our Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner for our big family. Thank you so much for making me the #1 mom ..... for today anyway....lol. I didn't have lemon jello at home so I used Black Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Lime and Berry Blue.......it looked beautiful.

This is definitely something you want to try at least once and it is definitely an eye catcher. My dislikes pertain to the flavors that just didn't blend well w/ each other like the green lime. I'll try this again leaving the green out. (alas no more rainbow..) Thanks for posting, this was an experience for me!!

I made a bunch of little jellos in fancy plastic pedestal water cups from the DollarTree. 1 1/2 T of jello per layer. It was awesome! I used sweet condensed milk but I think it would have been better with the coconut milk since the sc milk only added a creamy sweetness and no extra flavor or fruityness. Thanks for the great recipe!

This was awesome! It looked great,and tasted even better. The coconut milk really made the difference. Here are some things I learned the hard way; make sure you shake your coconut milk VERY well, and keep it refrigerated. Also when you are waiting for the jello to come to room temperature (in between layers) put the bowl it is in inside a larger bowl and then slowly pour cold water in the larger bowl so that it comes up the sides, but not to the top, of the smaller bowl. It definitely takes a long time to make, but if you have the time it is worth it! I can't wait to make this again, thanks for the great recipe!

I made this back in the summer time. It was a big hit! I agree , the coconut makes this a treat! It's so 'cool' looking people want to have some. I am slow so it took a *while* but once you get a groove going it is simple. Can't wait for an occasion to make it again!

Loved the taste. Unfortunately, mine didn't look so good! I was going for a Christmas coloured one with green and red jello but I wasn't attentive enough between layers and it hardened up too much so my layers split. I found putting it in the freezer set the jelly too quickly at the edge but not in the middle. I used a light coconut cream with pandan flavour (used in Asian cooking) and Weight Watcher's jello, so easy on the cals but much better tasting than straight WW jello! I would definitely try this again for a special dinner.

Sooooo soo tasty and pretty to look at. I almost didn't want to slice into it! The coconut makes all the difference, because it adds a little creaminess to the jello that you wouldn't normally have otherwise. I will definitely be making this again, experimenting with different colors. Thanks, Pamela!

I made this for a family picnic and everyone was definitly impressed! Even though it's time consuming it is worth the oohs and aahs you get when you present it!

Made this for a potluck and it was a big hit. The kids (all ages)especially loved it. The adults were asking for the recipe. Wonderful flavor and very colorful, we had to cut into it because no one wanted to ruin the mold. I put it in the freezer between batches of flavors to speed the process and it worked wonderfully. Don't let the layers harden too much or it won't stick. Make sure your layers are still tacky when adding the next layer and make sure you spoon the layers in. I tried pouring the layers in slowly and almost ruined the mold. Worth taking the time to make sure it is done right!! You'll be pleasantly surprised when it is finished.

Wow !!!!!!!!!! I made this and took it for a Christmas function. I also made a spectacular cheesecake to take and others going also made great deserts to take. BUT it was this desert that took the cake !!! Everybody commented on it and it was the first dessert to go. Many plates had bits of uneaten deserts on them, but the plates with this Rainbow Mould looked like they had been licked clean !!! It was a hit with young and old. I wish I had a dollar for every person that commented on how fantastic it looked (even men commented and thats saying something!!!) Thanks Pamela, I now look like a star cook becasue of this recipe !!! Its now out with the fancy cheescakes, and in with this terrific dessert!!!!

My DH's grandmother used to make a similar dish! She always served it in a clear glass 13/9 dish, and she didn't use coconut milk. She had a white layer between each color. I think it had either sour cream or cream cheese in it! I looked forward to it every party! It was always such a nice presentation!

I made this for a Church dinner. All the ladies wanted this to be the centerpiece, it is SO pretty. One of the ladies followed me and asked for the leftovers to take home. I let the layers chill while making the other dishes (multi-taking at its best!)
