Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 packages (3 oz each) Assorted flavored gelatin
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packages (1/4 oz each) Unflavored gelatin
Instructions
Prepare each flavored gelatin separately by dissolving one 3 oz package of gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then pour into separate shallow containers and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until set.
Once the flavored gelatin is fully set, cut it into small cubes (about 1/2 inch). Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a saucepan, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for 1-2 minutes. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to room temperature, but do not let it set.
Gently fold the colored gelatin cubes into the sweetened condensed milk mixture, being careful not to break the cubes. Ensure they're evenly combined.
Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving overhang on all sides for easy removal. Pour the gelatin mixture into the pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.
To serve, lift the dessert out of the pan using the plastic wrap, slice into slices, and enjoy the beautiful stained glass-like appearance of the Cathedral Windows.
