Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 7 packages Jello mix (different flavors/colors, e.g., strawberry, lime, orange, etc.)
- 7 cups Boiling water
- 3.5 cups Cold water
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 envelopes Unflavored gelatin
- 0.5 cup Cold water (for unflavored gelatin)
Instructions
Gather 7 different flavors of Jello and prepare a 9x13-inch glass dish or similar container.
Prepare the first layer by dissolving 1 package of Jello mix in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water and mix well.
Pour the prepared Jello mixture into the dish, creating the first layer. Place the dish in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until the layer is set.
While the first layer is chilling, prepare the creamy white layer. Sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup of cold water, letting it bloom for 5 minutes.
Dissolve the bloomed gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until dissolved. Add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and mix until combined. Let cool to room temperature.
Once the first Jello layer has set, pour about 1/2 cup of the creamy white mixture over the top to form the second layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set.
Repeat steps 2-6 with the remaining Jello flavors, alternating with the creamy white mixture after each Jello layer. Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next.
Once all 7 layers are complete (4 Jello layers and 3 creamy white layers), allow the entire dish to chill for an additional 2-3 hours in the refrigerator until firm.
Slice into squares or desired shapes and serve chilled. Enjoy your stunning 7 Layer Jello!
