Its been pretty grey and gloomy outside lately, lots of April showers working hard to bring us May flowers. So what's rain without a little rainbow? A tasty tasty rainbow...
I just got a new pan from William Sonoma that was begging to be a jello mold. Its actually a tiny teacakes pan for making petits fours, but cakes just weren't going to be wiggly and happy looking enough for this endeavor.
Making jello is easy.. as easy as boiling water in an adorable strawberry kettle. I didn't want to make six whole boxes of Jello so I added a 1/2 cup of boiling water to each half package of Jello. I also made a creamy jello by mixing 2 envelopes of gelatin into a 1/2 cup of cold water. Once the gelatin had bloomed I stirred in 1.5 cups of boiling water and one can of condensed milk.
Each mold got filled with either the regular or creamy jello with a couple of centimeters left at the top for a contrasting layer to be poured on.
When the jello was starting to set but was still sticky to the touch I poured on the second layer to be the base of the little molds.
The seven creamy jello bites got bright rainbow bases...
..And the regular jello got a creamy base
They all turned out so cute! To release them from the mold I just dipped the bottom of the pan into a sink of hot water, wiggled each piece to release its sides and then slid them onto a tray. If you try this be careful not to dip the mold for too long in the water, the jello will melt and you'll lose the pretty design!
Yum!! Rainbow Jello that you can eat with your fingers. No matter where you bring it everyone is going to want to try one..
.. even if they definitely are *not* supposed to be having one.
They look so yummy!! and colorful! Cute dog!

That last picture of Chloe is so cute! I really wonder if she really liked the taste of the jello!

OK, I never knew there was such a thing as Creamy Jello! Your pics are great, very enticing, like should be in a cookbook.

Kara: The jello made with condensed milk is really really tasty. You can add flavors to it too or swirl it with regular Jello

i think these have got to be the cutest jello i've ever seen! i don't like jello, but these make me want to try it (especially the creamy ones!)

omg these are so cute!!! I might have to try this out sometime! PS I love your blog!! SO many gorgeous, delicious looking treats!
Posted by: Tess | 04/26/2010 at 08:58 PM
April : Thanks! The creamy ones don't taste like jello, the taste more like a custard.
Tess: You should try it, it was really easy. Easier if i hadn't made a second layer, then it would just be pour and set.
Posted by: Stephanie | 04/26/2010 at 09:05 PM
Whoa. These look delicious! I want to reach into the pictures and taste one.

That's very cool and looks like a lot of fun! (I also love William-Sonoma pans)
Of course, the doggy is also very cute!
Posted by: Keith | 04/26/2010 at 09:36 PM
Very cool looking, and definitely brightened my day
: )
And now I know how to do the opaque white part - condensed milk.

Holy Cannolli - I just got this very pan !!! ( It is also sold as "Martha Stewart" what a sneaky girl she is ) . That face is priceless - how could you resist !!!

Sneaky Martha! Are you going to make little cakes with it?
Posted by: Stephanie | 04/27/2010 at 07:46 AM
Those look like so much fun.
Posted by: Kathryn | 04/27/2010 at 08:27 AM
Am suitably impressed by the jello (it's jelly here in the UK!), I'd be tempted to get my running shoes on if I scoffed them all and they're pretty enough!
Posted by: sarah | 04/27/2010 at 08:31 AM
I want the grape with the creamy base, looks delicious! Wonderful pictures!
Posted by: Martha | 04/27/2010 at 08:37 AM
these are really cute, sort of like jello shooters without the kick. i must admit i don't eat jello anymore...eating crazy colours scares me.
Posted by: Gina | 04/27/2010 at 09:41 AM
Gina if you don't like all the fake colouring in jello try making the stuff with condensed milk. No colouring there!

Holy Crow! Those are much too cute! And I must know where that tea pot came from!
Posted by: Heather | 04/28/2010 at 09:18 AM
Heather: I got the kettle from a flea market in Leeds UK, but I later saw it in a kitchen store in Canada so they are still making them
Posted by: Stephanie | 04/28/2010 at 10:15 AM
Those look amazing! You're so lucky to have that pan!! These is making hungry!!

Posted by: Lucy | 04/28/2010 at 11:29 AM
Oh my god. How cute is your dog?! My dog gives me that exact look when he's craving something I'm eating. He's had a fair share of stuff he's *not* supposed to have ;)
Beautiful jellos!

That's fantastic! I love it when food looks as good as it tastes. And somehow, everything tastes better when it's in little "nibble perfect" sizes. Thanks for the awesome encouraging comment you left on my blog!
