Directions
First thing's first. We're going to prepare the jelly. Divide the boiling water into two separate, heat-proof bowls, 5 cups each. In each bowl, dissolve one box of jelly crystals, stirring thoroughly to ensure all crystals have melted. This step is crucial for the smooth consistency of your jelly.
Now, divide the cold water into both bowls, adding 1 cup to each one. This will help your jelly set quicker.
Carefully pour the first flavor of jelly into each of your 10 serving cups, filling only half of the cup. This is where things get fun, because you get to decide the color layering of your cups!
Place the cups in the refrigerator for about 2 hours, or until the jelly has set.
Once the first layer has set, pour the second flavor of jelly on top, filling up the rest of the cup.
Refrigerate the cups again for another 2 hours until the second layer has set.
To serve, top each jelly cup with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with Christmas-themed sprinkles. It's a simple finishing touch, but believe me, it makes all the difference.
