Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cup water (divided)
  • 6 packages 3 oz flavored gelatin (6 different colors)
  • 6 tsp plain gelatin powder
  • 3 cup rum or vodka (very cold)
  • 1 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt (divided)

Method

  • Place the bottle of liquor in the freezer for several hours before beginning recipe.
  • Lightly spray bundt pan or gelatin mold with non stick cooking spray.
  • Wipe off the excess spray with a paper towel.
  • A slight residue should remain, just enough to help unmold your gelatin, without affecting the taste or appearance.
  • 3 Pour 3/4 cup water into a saucepan and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the plain gelatin.
  • Allow gelatin to soak for a minute or two.
  • Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved (about 5 minutes).
  • Wisk in the first package of flavored gelatin.
  • Whisk for at least 2 minutes, or until completely dissolved.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add 1/2 cup of the cold liquor, and stir to combine.
  • Pour 3/4 cup of the gelatin mixture into the prepared mold, and place in refrigerator.
  • Allow to set for 15 to 20 minutes, until the gelatin is a little firm, but still sticks when touched.
  • Very important if the layers set up too much, the next layer wont bond appropriated.
  • Refrigerate the remaining gelatin mixture in bowl about 5 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Gradually stir in 3 tablespoons of yogurt and stir until well blended.
  • This cooling step is also important the gelatin must be cooled to room temperature before adding on top of other layers, or the layers will not be well defined.
  • Gently spoon the gelatin/yogurt mixture over set gelatin and return to the refrigerator Refrigerate about 15 minutes or until gelatin is set but not firm (Again, it should stick to finger when touched.)
  • As the layers progress, the setting time will become shorter as the pan and gelatin becomes colder, and the layers become thinner as more layers are added to the mold.
  • Repeat steps with remaining gelatin flavors, for a total of 12 alternating clear and creamy gelatin layers.
  • After completing all the layers, refrigerate the gelatin overnight.
  • To unmold, fill a larger container or clean sink with warm water.
  • With clean fingers, loosen the gelatin around the edges of the mold cavities.
  • Next, dip the mold almost to the edge into the warm water for just a few seconds (10 seconds worked for me).
  • Dry the bottom of the mold with a towel and check the edges to see if they are loose, if not, repeat the dip for just a few seconds.
  • Place your serving plate on top of the mold and invert.
  • Your masterpiece is now ready to serve!
