Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 3 ounces Lime-flavored gelatin
- 3 ounces Orange-flavored gelatin
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 3 cups Cold water
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 packet Unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Hot water
Instructions
Prepare the strawberry gelatin: In a medium bowl, combine 1 packet (3 ounces) of strawberry-flavored gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then mix in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
Pour the strawberry gelatin into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish, ensuring it is evenly spread. Place the dish in the refrigerator and chill for about 45 minutes or until set but not firm (the gelatin should feel sticky to the touch).
While the strawberry layer sets, prepare the creamy layer: In a medium bowl, dissolve 1 packet of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of hot water. Stir until fully dissolved.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the unflavored gelatin mixture, stirring gently until combined. Let the mixture cool for 10-15 minutes, ensuring it is not too warm for layering.
Carefully pour 1/3 of the creamy mixture over the set strawberry layer. Spread evenly and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set.
Prepare the lime gelatin: In a medium bowl, combine 1 packet (3 ounces) of lime-flavored gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then mix in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
Gently pour the lime gelatin over the creamy layer, ensuring an even spread. Refrigerate for 45 minutes until set but not firm.
Add another 1/3 of the creamy mixture over the lime layer. Spread evenly and refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
Prepare the orange gelatin: In a medium bowl, combine 1 packet (3 ounces) of orange-flavored gelatin with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then mix in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
Gently pour the orange gelatin over the creamy layer, ensuring an even spread. Refrigerate for 45 minutes until set but not firm.
Top the orange layer with the remaining creamy mixture. Spread evenly and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, slice the Creamy Jello Layers into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy this stunning and delicious dessert!
