Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Red flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry or cherry)
- 3 oz Orange flavored gelatin
- 3 oz Yellow flavored gelatin (e.g., lemon or pineapple)
- 3 oz Green flavored gelatin (e.g., lime)
- 3 oz Blue flavored gelatin (e.g., berry blue)
- 3 oz Purple flavored gelatin (e.g., grape)
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packets Unflavored gelatin packets
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 6 cups Cold water
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch glass pan by ensuring it is clean and dry. This will be the base for your layered jello.
For the red layer, dissolve 1 packet of red flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir thoroughly until dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water.
Pour the dissolved red gelatin into the pan and refrigerate for 20-25 minutes, or until the gelatin is just set but still sticky to the touch.
Prepare the cream layer while waiting. In a bowl, dissolve 2 packets of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then mix in the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of cold water. Leave aside at room temperature.
Once the red layer is set, pour about 1/4 of the cream mixture over the red layer. Tilt the pan if necessary to create an even coating. Chill for 15-20 minutes until just firm.
Repeat the layering steps with the orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple gelatin, alternating each with a cream layer and refrigerating between layers to set. Use the same ratio of 1 cup boiling water to 1 packet of gelatin and 1 cup cold water for each color layer.
Once the final purple layer is set, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to fully firm up.
To serve, cut the rainbow jello into squares or shapes of your choice, and use a spatula to carefully lift out each piece. Enjoy!
