Layered Jello Dessert is the simplest and easiest homemade 3-layered jello treat. This dessert will be a crowd-pleaser at your party. Serve this tri-color jelly for 15th August, Indian Independence Day, Republic Day, or Diwali.
How to make 3-layered jello?
To make this 3 layered jello dessert, you can use any flavored jello mix to get the colors you want. I use agar-agar or unflavored gelatin mixed with milk, cream, and vanilla extract for the white-colored jello layer. Putting everything together is easy, it is time-consuming because after creating every layer, you will have to wait an hour for it to set. This will help you to layer the jello without mixing.

Ingredients
For the saffron and green layer, I have used a green and orange jello box mix. These are available as jelly crystals in India. The goal was to create the tri-color Indian flag jello for Independence Day.
To make the white layer, Use china grass or agar agar, whipping cream, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract.

- Pour this white color on top of the green layer and keep it in the refrigerator for another 1 hour.
For the saffron layer
- In the pan, bring 2 cups of water to boil. Add a box full of orange jello crystals and mix. (To make the Indian flag color deep orange, add one pinch of orange food coloring while mixing the box mix.)
- Pour this saffron (orange) color on top of the white layer and keep it in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- The jello will be ready to be served in 1 hour. Jello tastes the best when served chilled.
