Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 packages (3 oz each) Flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, lime, orange)
- 2 packages (0.25 oz each) Unflavored gelatin
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Hot water
Instructions
Prepare each flavored gelatin package by dissolving it in 1 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour each flavor into separate shallow containers and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Once the flavored gelatin is set, cut each flavor into small cubes (approximately 1/2-inch). Set the cubes aside in a large mixing bowl.
In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve 2 packages of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of hot water. Stir well to ensure it is completely dissolved.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the unflavored gelatin mixture and mix thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Gently pour the cooled milk mixture over the flavored gelatin cubes in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to carefully mix the cubes into the creamy base without breaking them apart.
Lightly grease a rectangular or square pan (9x13-inch works well) or use a silicone mold for easy removal. Pour the entire mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, slice the dessert into squares or rectangles, and serve chilled.
