  • Total Time: 3 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 cups

Ingredients

1 box orange-flavored gelatin

1 box lemon-flavored gelatin

Whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

Candy corn (for garnish)

6 clear plastic cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the lemon gelatin according to the package directions. Pour into cups, filling about ⅓ of each. Chill until set, about 1–2 hours.
  2. Once firm, prepare the orange gelatin according to the package directions. Gently pour over the lemon layer, filling another ⅓ of each cup. Chill again until fully set, about 1–2 hours.
  3. Top each cup with whipped cream to create the final white layer.
  4. Garnish with candy corn before serving.

Notes

Swap whipped cream with vanilla yogurt or Cool Whip for a lighter option.

Add a splash of orange juice to the orange gelatin for extra citrus flavor.

Use sugar-free gelatin for a lower-sugar version.

Use mini cups or shot glasses for bite-sized servings.

Add toppings like sprinkles, gummy worms, or candy eyes for kids.
