Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) Strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 1 box (3 oz) Lime-flavored gelatin
- 1 box (3 oz) Orange-flavored gelatin
- 2 packages (0.25 oz each) Unflavored gelatin
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 1 as needed Non-stick spray
Instructions
Prepare each flavored gelatin separately. In 3 separate bowls, dissolve each box of flavored gelatin (strawberry, lime, orange) in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then pour each into a shallow container or dish. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until set.
Once the flavored gelatin is set, cut them into small cubes (about 1/2 inch in size). Set the cubes aside.
In a large heat-safe bowl, combine the 2 packages of unflavored gelatin with 1 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the bloomed unflavored gelatin and stir to dissolve completely.
Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the dissolved gelatin mixture until well combined. Let this mixture cool to room temperature.
Lightly spray a 9x13-inch dish (or a large mold of your choice) with non-stick spray.
Gently fold the gelatin cubes (strawberry, lime, and orange) into the cooled condensed milk mixture, ensuring the cubes are evenly distributed and not crushed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish or mold, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.
When ready to serve, gently loosen the edges with a knife, invert onto a serving platter if using a mold, or slice into squares if using a dish. Enjoy the colorful, creamy dessert!
