Rainbow Jelly Parfait

Kitchen Princess is a manga by Natsumi Ando and Miyuki Kobayashi in which every chapter is named after a dish. This is our own quick, family-friendly version of that dish, not the recipe from the book.

A true layered rainbow jelly needs each layer to set in the fridge before the next goes on, which can take all afternoon. Using ready-made jelly cups and cubing them gets the same rainbow in ten minutes, and the cubes sparkle in the glass.

Make it a learning moment: say the rainbow order together (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) and see if your glass matches.
