In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 small boxes of flavored Jello with 2 packets of unflavored gelatin.
Pour 2 cups of boiling water into the Jello mixture and stir until completely dissolved (about 2-3 minutes).
Pour the dissolved gelatin mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes, or until set but not too firm.
While the first layer sets, prepare the creamy layer. In a separate bowl, dissolve 2 packets of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for about 2-3 minutes.
Add 1.5 cups of boiling water to the bloomed gelatin and stir to dissolve completely.
Stir in the can of sweetened condensed milk to create the creamy layer, ensuring it is well-mixed.
Let the creamy mixture cool to room temperature but not set (about 10-15 minutes).
Once the first layer is set, gently pour the creamy layer over it using a spoon to avoid disrupting the bottom layer. Refrigerate for another 30 minutes, or until fully set.
For the top layer, repeat steps 1-2 using the remaining small box of flavored Jello and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin with 2 cups of boiling water.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly (but not set), then gently pour it over the creamy layer. Refrigerate for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the entire dessert is firm.
Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the jigglers into squares or shapes of your choice (you can use cookie cutters for fun designs). Serve chilled and enjoy!
