Lightly spray a 9x13-inch glass dish or pan with nonstick cooking spray for easy removal of the jello layers.
Choose six different flavors/colors of gelatin. Each flavor will make two layers (a clear layer and a creamy layer).
For the first layer, dissolve one packet of flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, whisking until fully dissolved.
Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water to the dissolved gelatin mixture and pour half of the mixture (about 3/4 cup) into the prepared dish. Refrigerate until set, about 25-30 minutes.
To make the second, creamy layer, mix the remaining half of the gelatin mixture (about 3/4 cup) with 1/2 cup of sour cream, whisking until smooth.
Carefully pour the creamy layer on top of the set clear layer in the dish. Refrigerate again for 25-30 minutes, or until the layer is firm.
Repeat this process for the remaining flavors of gelatin, alternating between clear layers and creamy layers, ensuring each layer is fully set before adding the next.
Once all twelve layers are complete and set, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to ensure the dessert is fully chilled and firm.
When ready to serve, cut into cubes or slices and serve chilled. Enjoy your colorful Twelve Layer Jello!
