Even if you’re not a fan of candy corn, you’ll love this yummy dessert. It has the look of candy corn, but not the taste. (Feel free to add a few pieces of candy corn on the top if you want to be extra fancy though!)

This candy corn jello cup recipe makes one small glass plus an 8×8 square glass dish of the JELL-O dessert you can cut into squares. Or, you can choose to make two or three small glasses (like the one pictured above). You’ll want to allow a few hours from start to finish when making this recipe because the individual layers need time to set. It’s easiest to make it a day or two ahead, and store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it.

Candy Corn JELL-O Dessert Cups

Keyword Candy Corn JELL-O Dessert Cups, candy corn jello

Ingredients

  • 8 oz sour cream
  • 1 cups milk
  • 1 ⁄2 cup sugar
  • 1 ⁄2 tsp vanilla
  • 2 packages of Knox unflavored gelatin
  • 2 small boxes JELL-O – red orange, yellow
  • Water: 1 1⁄2 cups for each color jello and one cup for the Knox
  • *Optional: whipping cream and colorful candies

Instructions

  1. Boil milk and sugar together for two minutes, and let cool for 20 minutes.
  2. Heat water on stove/teapot.
  3. Dissolve the orange JELL-O in a dish with 1 1⁄2 cups of hot water, stirring to combine. Let cool. Set aside.
  4. In a another bowl, dissolve two packages of Knox gelatin in one cup of cold water.
  5. Combine milk and sugar mixture with Knox gelatin and sour cream. Blend until smooth. Add vanilla.
  6. The best way to ensure equal size layers for presentation is to measure the side of the glass with a ruler and divide equally into six layers.
  7. Slowly pour enough orange JELL-O into bottom of glass, based on the layer size you decided on. Take note of the amount, 1⁄4 cup, 1/3 cup, etc. Set aside an equal portion of the orange jello in reserve for another layer. Pour the remaining unreserved jello into square dish. Cover with plastic wrap, and set in refrigerator to cool and firm.
  8. Once firm, carefully add the next layer, which is the milk and sour cream mixture combination. Refrigerate until firm.
  9. Dissolve the yellow JELL-O in a dish with 1 1⁄2 cups of hot water, stirring to combine. Let cool. Set aside.
  10. Carefully add the yellow JELL-O atop the white solid sour cream layer in each dish. Spoon and spread gently to avoid any holes.
  11. Refrigerate until firm. Then gently add a layer of milk and sour cream mixture to the top of yellow layers in the glass and square dish.
  12. The square dish is now finished with layering. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
  13. Continue the process of layering in the glass with more orange JELL-O, followed by a white layer, then the yellow JELL-O on top.
  14. Cut JELL-O in square dish into squares and serve on a platter. Top with a dollop of whipping cream and candies if desired.

Recipe Notes

Do not store the sour cream/milk mixture in the refrigerator as it will set, and you need it to be in a liquid state. When pouring on each layer of JELL-O and sour cream/milk mixture, do it very slowly and carefully so it won’t rupture and spread through the previous layer.

I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inaug I thought of Maya Angelou when I watched the inauguration. She was the poet at Bill Clinton's inauguration, if anyone remembers. This is the link to that reading youtube.com/watch?v=8ecWterxtq0 ("On the Pulse of Morning")  She lived not far from me, and when she died, I went to her estate sale. I regretted not going to see her speak while I had the chance and wanted to buy something that belonged to her. We were actually able to go into her house. People were picking through her dishes and rooms full of books, and there were paintings and scuptures she'd been gifted that were selling for thousands of dollars. Her bedroom was closed off, but it felt like we shouldn't be there.  For the few who don't know it, this is probably her most famous poem and my favorite:  Still I Rise  You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.  Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.  Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?  Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.  You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.  Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?  Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.  Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
