I've been making this for many years. We call it Rainbow Jello. I only use Cherry, Orange and Grape jello. One clear layer, then one with the evaporated milk. The kids love this!!

this recipe helped me figure out that my refrigerator is on a slant, which i never realized. it worked out in my favor though, every other layer i would turn the dish the opposite direction--and i had a cool angled effect to this dish. soo yummy and pretty, just time consuming. will make again!

This turned out perfect! I used a bundt pan let chill till they were set and it didn't take quite 20 mins. My layers stayed together with no problems. Be sure if you turn it out onto a plate to spray the plate and also if you cover it with foil be sure and spray the foil. It is wiggly wobbly sticky Jello goodness =))

I made this in a trifle dish for my sister's colorful wedding. It was beautiful and tasty but I'm only rating the recipe three stars because I had major trouble with the directions. I ended up having to throw my first attempt out because, despite following the directions exactly, the layers melted one another and formed one big black unappetizing layer. My second attempt, however, I decided to stir in 3/4 cups of ice cubes instead of the water to bring down the temperature of the gelatin before adding it to the solid layers. That worked MUCH better. I also let them solidify for a full 60 minutes instead of 45. I read on the internet that there might be problems with letting them completely solidify because the layers may end up separating when they are unmolded but I had no problems with that (of course, I didn't "unmold" the layers because they were in a trifle dish...but when dishing out the layers they adhered perfectly).

Everyone liked it. I only used two flavors because my party colors were all pink and green, so I used strawberry and lime. The trifle dish I used was HUGE so mine ended up being eight gelatin layers plus the whipped topping. Not at all fun to make, took an entire day as my layers were not close to set after 45 minutes, it took more like one hour plus. Thanks for the recipe.

I made this for a Sponge Bob birthday party and the kids loved it. The only trouble I had was getting the last layer out of the pan. Be sure to wait the 45 minutes, or more, between each layer so that the colors don't mix. There is always room for jello.

This was very yummy and very pretty to look at. I didn't have cooking spray, so I just greased the pan.. that didn't work too well. My last layer didn't come off. I used a 11x13 pan, and it worked fine. One thing to watch out for is that you really spoon on the layers. I poured in my third layer and it made a hole in the second layer.

Fun recipe! Spraying the bundt pan with pam is important. Even with this precaution I had to jiggle it and coax it away from the sides of the pan before turning it upside down on the plate. Given the number of layers, it made about 10lbs of jello. Too much for our little get together- had to throw a lot of the leftovers out b/c we couldn't finish it in time (generally a BIG no-no, but considering it was just Jello... no guilt there). For those who aren't big Jello fans: the evaporated milk layers are reminiscent of cheesecake... esp with placed next to strawberry or raspberry layers. Its by no means cheesecake, don't mistake me. But it IS an interesting twist. We liked it & will make it again, next time in individual bowls. Two words of warning: make sure each layer sets before the next one is added. Second: don't put yellow next to blue. Somehow, despite allowing a whole day to set in-between these layers, they still melded together and made a huge "icky" green color that kind of marred the effect. Still turned out nice however- esp when sliced. All and all I'd say this is easy, tasty, fun for kids AND adults, and totally worth the time and refrigerator space.

Very pretty! I'm not a big jello fan, but my kids saw this and we tried it. I think it was better because it wasn't just plain jello, and it was fun to do with them. My kids are starting to request foods based on everyone's gorgeous pictures!

some of my layers seperated once I turned the bunt pan over. They didnt stick to the pan or anything its just the layers for somereason didnt stick to eachother all that well. Maybe I didnt let them cool long enough before adding the next layer, or maybe it cooled too long...ahhhh i dont know. the layers that stayed tgether were very pretty though.

This looked really cool. I made it in a 4x9 glass bread pan and only used 3 boxes jello. When I placed 3/4"x4" slices on plates, they separated on the plate. After I cut them in half 3/4"x2", they stayed together better. The problem may have been that it didn't stay cold enough. I packed the salad in the bottom of my cooler in ice.

While very tasty, I found the layers a bit thin to be visually pleasing; the next time I make this, I'm going to use a bowl/dish instead of a 13"x9". Also, I found out the importance of not waiting until each layer is completely set before adding the next: sliding! I waited a bit too long for each layer, and they all began to separate on our plates. Still yummy, but next time I'll pay more attention to the clock.

Very creative and festive in a clear glass dish or bowl. Instead of the evapoated milk I used vanilla yogurt or if the jello was a red like cherry, stawberry ect. I used the same kind of yogurt. Good and nutitious!!

I love this gelatin salad. It is my favorite. Note: It does not come out as lovely as the pic on this recipe if you make as directed. The layers are thin. I think you could get the same result by using smaller container and less layers of jello or doubling each layer. I also had read to grease the dish you are serving it on so that it lifts easily and wish I had remembered to do it. I think it was yummy with the evaporated milk and easier to do than most layer recipes.

It came out looking nice - but we didn't like it. Instead of evaporated milk, i used non-dairy whipping cream to make the lighter layer of the jello. If you make this recipe - make sure you have a lot of time on hand and things to do while you wait for the layers to solidify, as there are many steps.
