Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Red jello (e.g., strawberry or cherry flavor)
- 3 oz Green jello (e.g., lime flavor)
- 2 packets Unflavored gelatin packets
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the red jello mix with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well.
Pour the red jello mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish and refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until set but not completely firm.
While the red jello layer is setting, dissolve 1 packet of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Heat 1 cup of boiling water and pour it over the bloomed gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the mixture, stirring until fully combined. Let the creamy mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the red jello is set, gently pour the creamy layer over it. Use a spoon to help disperse the liquid evenly and avoid disturbing the red layer. Refrigerate for about 1 hour, or until set.
In another medium mixing bowl, combine the green jello mix with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well.
Once the creamy layer is set, gently pour the green jello mixture over it. Again, use a spoon to distribute the liquid carefully. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.
To serve, slice the 3-layer jello dessert into squares and use a spatula to carefully remove the servings. Enjoy the colorful, layered treat!
