In reply to Ksusha. Hi Ksusha! No, sweetened condensed milk won't work for this recipe. :/ Sorry!

Would condensed milk work instead of the sour cream?

In reply to Mom of 2. Absolutely! You can definitely use regular sour cream. I hope you give it a try!

Would this work with regular sour cream?

Ah it’s just taking a lot longer to set.

I’ve been making this same recipe since 1980. (Published in several church cookbooks.). I keep a 9 x 13 pan just for this (not warped from baking). Metal is the best conductor of cold, so it sets up rather quickly. I ‘frost’ it with cool whip or whipped cream. No one can see all the colours until they have a square placed before them for dessert. Always get rave reviews!

In reply to Jen. Thank you for the reply. I think I will go ahead and make 2 days ahead instead of 3. Dont want to take any chances ...I will let you know how they turn out.

Hi Lynn! I actually do have another recipe that has a white layer and uses the unflavored jello. Check it out here: https://www.yummyhealthyeasy.com/2013/08/layered-jell-o-cups.html

In reply to pm. Hi! These are definitely great to make in advance. I'm not sure how watery they will get three days prior, though. I would say a day or maybe two before at the most would be best but if you do end up trying it, let me know how they look making them three days in advance. Sorry I'm not much help. Thanks for the comment!

I want to make this for my toddlers class and was wondering if I can make these 3 days in advance and store it in the fridge?

I love these! i’ve been looking for a healthier option, and love the idea of yogurt. I was curious, i prefer the look of the bright white layers, and the idea of yogurt. have you ever made these using unflavored for the white layer? is there some other way to use this recipe without coloring the white layer? thanks!!

In reply to Maggie. I like light sour cream the best! I think it's easier to blend and tastes the best! I hope this helps - sorry for the delayed response!

Hi, I’m planning to make this for someone’s birthday and was just wondering if light sour cream or yogurt works better? And which one did you use specifically? Thanks! 🙂

In reply to Jen. I made them. They were beautiful and delicious! Next time I'll start in the morning and do it over the course of a whole day, so the process isn't too tedious. Super easy to do, but definitely time consuming.

In reply to Christy. The layers definitely won't leak or seep through! I've made these way in advance and they stay good for days. Your birthday guests will love them! Good luck!
