Choose 4 different colors of jello (grape, cherry, lime, pineapple).

For the first layer, combine 1/2 cup of boiling water with 1 package of grape jello in a bowl and stir until dissolved.

Add 1/2 cup of evaporated milk to the dissolved jello and stir.

Add 1/2 cup of ice water to the mixture and stir until combined.

Pour the mixture into a trifle bowl and refrigerate for 30-40 minutes until set.

For the second layer, combine 3/4 cup of boiling water with 1 package of grape jello in a bowl and stir until dissolved.

Add 3/4 cup of ice water to the mixture and stir.

Carefully ladle the mixture over the set creamy grape layer to avoid mixing the layers.

Repeat the process for the remaining jello flavors (cherry, lime, pineapple), alternating between creamy and clear layers, refrigerating each creamy layer for 30-40 minutes before adding the next clear layer.

Ensure the trifle bowl is placed on a level shelf in the refrigerator to avoid uneven setting.
