To make sure you have the Luck o’ the Irish at your St. Patrick’s Day feast, be sure to bring your own rainbow! Not only is it easy to make, and gorgeous to look at, it’s fun to eat!
I’ve been making Rainbow Jell-O almost every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas since High School! It’s super fun to either peel apart the layers and eat them one by one, or have a flavor burst when you eat them all at once! It’ll be fun to incorporate it into our St. Patrick’s Day fun too!
Ingredients
- 1 small box Red Jell-O (I like cherry over strawberry, it gives a deeper red)
- 1 small box Orange Jell-O
- 1 small box Yellow Jell-O
- 1 small box Green Jell-O
- 1 small box Blue Jell-O
- 1 small box Purple Jell-O
- 4 cups vanilla or plain yogurt
- 10 cups water, divided
Instructions
Starting with either Red or Purple, work your way thought the different boxes of jell-o in the order (or reverse order) listed above.
Dissolve 1 package Jell-O in 1 cup boiling water.
After dissolved, split into 2 bowls.
Add 2/3 cup yogurt to one bowl, and stir until smooth
Add 2/3 cup cold water into the other bowl, and stir for 10-15 seconds.
Pour yogurt mixture into 9x13 pan and let solidify in fridge for 45 minutes.
Pour water mixture slowly over yogurt mixture, and let solidify in fridge for at least 45 minutes.
Repeat with each color.
So this recipe doesn't take over my entire day, I like to split it up. I do one color as soon as I wake up, one color before I cook dinner, and one color right before I go to bed. That way it only takes a few minutes per day.

How much does this make?
a VERY full 9×13 pan.
I am confused. Do you let the half with no yogurt sit on the counter for 45 minutes while the same color mixed with yogurt sets? I guess the color without yogurt will not set while sitting out?
Yep! It takes the cold in your refrigerator to make it solidify. It’ll stay liquid at room temperature for a LONG time (hours!)
I just made this for St Patricks day- with a little whipped cream cloud and a gold coin. I made them in individual juice glasses though so I wouldn’t mess them up when cutting them- also so that it would be all ready to go when we were ready for them. Also- I was short on time and so I popped my layers into the freezer for 15 minutes each time and thus cut the time down to almost a third. I would mix up the next layer while my previous layer was setting and it kept the whole thing moving along pretty quickly. Thank you so much for this recipe – my kids were thrilled!
That’s a great idea! I’m glad your kids love it!
