Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 packets flavored gelatin (any flavor)
- 4 packets unflavored gelatin
- 4 cups boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, combine all three packets of flavored gelatin and the four packets of unflavored gelatin.
Carefully pour in the boiling water while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue mixing until all gelatin is completely dissolved.
Add the cold water and stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, about 5-10 minutes.
Grease a 9x13-inch glass or non-stick baking dish lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Pour the gelatin mixture into the prepared dish. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly if necessary.
Place the dish in the refrigerator to set completely, at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Once fully set, remove the pan from the refrigerator and gently loosen the edges with a butter knife or spatula.
Cut the gelatin into squares or fun shapes using a knife or cookie cutters as desired.
Serve the Finger Jello cold for best taste and texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
