These candy corn jello cups are a fun Halloween treat. They feature layers of lemon and orange jello with a creamy white topping made from sour cream and gelatin. After assembling each layer and letting them set in the fridge, you can finish with whipped cream and sprinkles.
Ingredients
Directions
- Mix the lemon (yellow) jello with 1 cup of boiling water, stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water.
- Evenly pour this yellow mixture into six 6-ounce glasses.
- Chill in the refrigerator until the yellow layer is completely firm, then prepare the orange jello.
- Combine the orange jello with 1 cup of boiling water, stir until dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water.
- Once the orange jello has cooled to room temperature, carefully spoon it over the set yellow layer in each glass, then return to the fridge to firm up.
- For the white cream layer, bring 1 cup of milk to a boil, then stir in 1/2 cup of sugar until it dissolves, and remove from heat.
- Dissolve 1 package of Knox gelatin in 1/4 cup of cold water, then add this to the milk mixture.
- Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 8 oz of sour cream, then beat with a mixer until smooth.
- When the white mixture is at room temperature and the orange layer is fully set, pour it on top of the cups and refrigerate again until set.
- Once completely firm, garnish with whipped cream and sprinkles if you like.
