Method
- Lightly coat a large glass dish or mold with cooking spray or a thin layer of neutral oil, then set aside.
- Prepare the first flavored gelatin by dissolving 1 box in 1 cup boiling water, stirring until fully dissolved, then add 1 cup cold water. Pour a thin layer into the prepared dish and refrigerate until just set, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- To make a creamy layer, sprinkle 1 packet of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water in a bowl and let it bloom for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup boiling water until dissolved, then whisk in 1/3 of the sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 of the sour cream, and a little vanilla until smooth.
- Carefully spoon or pour a thin layer of the creamy mixture over the set gelatin layer. Refrigerate until set enough to support the next layer, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Repeat the process with the remaining flavored gelatins and creamy mixture, alternating layers and chilling each one until set before adding the next. Work gently so the layers stay distinct.
- After the final layer is added, chill the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
- To unmold, briefly dip the bottom or sides of the mold in warm water if needed, then invert onto a serving plate. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For the cleanest layers, make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next. Use a light hand when pouring the creamy mixture to avoid disturbing the gelatin underneath.
