I searched through my cabinet of curiosities and decided to do a reposting of this Jello salad. I'm not a big fan of Jello salads. The truth be told, I'd cross the street to avoid one coming down the sidewalk. But one day, someone talked me into trying this one. Well, will wonders never cease and monkeys fly. It was actually delicious.
It's made of layers of different flavors plus a wonderful concoction of a sweet white mixture. I call it Flying Devil Monkey Ribbon Jello, because I like flying devil monkeys. Yeah, I know I'm a bit quirky. But that's what makes me so lovable.
I used a glass trifle dish to show off the vibrant colors. This is a time-consuming dessert because each layer needs to set before you can add the next. The size of my container used 5 small boxes of Jello. Use what ever flavors you like or just layer by color, that is what I did.
Recipe for each Jello layer
1 cup hot water
1/2 cup very cold water
1 package of Jello
Empty package into bowl. Add hot water, stir to dissolve. Add cold water, stir. Pour into dish and refrigerate until set.
White mix
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla1 pint sour cream
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water
Combine gelatin and 1/2 cup water, let set to dissolve.Bring milk to a boil. Turn off heat and add sugar, vanilla and softened gelatin. Add sour cream to hot mix a little at a time. Stir until incorporated. Set aside to room temperature. When cool add 1 & 1/2 cups to next layer in dish. Refrigerate until set.Repeat the process with the next flavor of Jello. Etc.

laughing at your title I run to avoid monkeys, flying devil monkeys might make me hide under the bed and jello salads or any gelatin based items i also avoid......yours looks like a great item for cinco de mayo or holiday celebrations, sign me up for some nice pudding instead though!
you made the tea come out my nose laughing at the title
Hah! Great name. I think Jello salads are about to make a comback at our house because the kids seem to like them, and you can get them to eat all kinds of good stuff that way. Love the dramatic colors of this one!
I'm usually not a fan of jello salads either and I was scared this one was going to have cottage cheese in it. (Why do people put cottage cheese in jello?)
That "white" layer however, sounds like it pulls all of it together and makes for a quite tasty dessert!
Ladies, this is the only Jello salad I will eat. And to tell the truth... it's pretty darn good.
That is so cool! I really love it.
This is a beautiful looking jello salad. I run--fast--the other way when I see jello, but DSO's family has been known to serve a hunk of the lime stuff on a lettuce leaf and pass the mayo. There's no accounting for tastes! I will admire this one from afar, but it is quite visually stunning.
great title and this does look very good, but there are sooo many great foods out there... wouldn;t run from it, but wouldn;t hunt it down either.
