Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Red gelatin (cherry or strawberry flavor)
- 6 oz Green gelatin (lime flavor)
- 1 packet (approx. 0.25 oz) Unflavored gelatin
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1 tbsp (for greasing the dish) Vegetable oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch glass or non-stick dish lightly with vegetable oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Dissolve the red gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water. Pour half of this red mixture into the prepared dish and refrigerate for about 30-45 minutes, or until just set but not firm.
While the first red layer sets, dissolve the green gelatin in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water and set it aside at room temperature.
Prepare the white layer by sprinkling 1 packet of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Then, dissolve it by stirring in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.
Once the first red layer is set, gently pour one-third of the white mixture over it. Use the back of a spoon to soften the pour and prevent the layers from mixing. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the white layer is set.
Pour half of the green gelatin mixture over the white layer once set, using the same spoon-pouring technique. Refrigerate for another 30-45 minutes, or until the layer sets.
Repeat the layering process: another third of the white mixture, the remaining red mixture, the final third of the white mixture, and then the remaining green mixture, chilling between each layer to set.
Once all layers are set, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving.
Cut into squares or festive shapes and serve chilled. Enjoy your Christmas Jello!
