Prepare the First Layer: Dissolve one package of red gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir constantly for at least two minutes until the granules disappear completely. Add a splash of cold water to bring it to room temperature quickly. Pour half of this mixture into the bottom of your glass dish.

Chill the Base: Place the dish in the refrigerator for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until it is firm to the touch but slightly tacky.

Create the Creamy Layer: Take the remaining half of the red gelatin and whisk in 1/3 cup of sour cream or yogurt until smooth. Spoon this over the first set layer and return to the fridge for another 15 minutes.

Repeat for Vigor: Continue this pattern with the next color, perhaps orange. Dissolve the orange gelatin in boiling water, split the mixture, and create a clear layer followed by a creamy layer.

Mind the Temperature: Ensure each mixture has cooled significantly before pouring it over the set layers. If the liquid is too hot, it will melt the layer beneath.

Maintain Consistency: Keep the same thickness for each stripe as you progress through the layers.

Final Set: Once you have added the seventh layer, refrigerate the entire dish for at least 4 to 6 hours, preferably overnight.
