Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz (1 box) Red Jell-O (strawberry or cherry flavor)
- 3 oz (1 box) Orange Jell-O (orange flavor)
- 3 oz (1 box) Yellow Jell-O (lemon flavor)
- 3 oz (1 box) Green Jell-O (lime flavor)
- 3 oz (1 box) Blue Jell-O (berry blue flavor)
- 3 oz (1 box) Purple Jell-O (grape flavor)
- 6 cups (divided, 1 cup per layer) Boiling water
- 3 cups (divided, 1/2 cup per layer) Cold water
- 14 oz (1 can) Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packets (0.25 oz each) Unflavored gelatin
Instructions
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch glass dish or pan with non-stick spray to ensure easy slicing and serving.
Prepare the red Jell-O: In a small bowl, mix 1 packet of red Jell-O with 1 cup of boiling water until completely dissolved. Stir in 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour this into the prepared pan and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until the layer is set but not firm.
While the red layer sets, prepare the creamy layer: In a small saucepan, dissolve 2 packets of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Once dissolved, stir in 1 can (14 oz) of sweetened condensed milk, followed by 1/2 cup of cold water. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Once the red layer is set, gently pour 3/4 cup of the creamy mixture over the red layer. Use the back of a spoon to gently diffuse the pour and avoid disrupting the layer. Return to the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or until set but not firm.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each additional Jell-O color (orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple). Ensure that each Jell-O and creamy layer is fully set before adding the next layer. Clean the saucepan as needed for the creamy layer.
Once the final purple layer is added, refrigerate the entire dish for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm. This ensures all the layers are stable for slicing.
Once set, carefully slice the Rainbow Jell-O into squares or other shapes using a sharp knife. Serve chilled and enjoy!
