Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz package Red Jello (strawberry, raspberry, or cherry flavor)
- 3 oz package Green Jello (lime flavor)
- 2 packets Unflavored gelatin
- 14 oz can Sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a 9x13-inch glass dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray to help release the Jello later.
Prepare the red Jello layer: Dissolve one red Jello package in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved and let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Pour the red Jello into the prepared dish and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the layer is set but not hard.
Prepare the creamy middle layer: In a medium bowl, dissolve 2 packets of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Add the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of cold water. Mix well and allow to cool to room temperature.
Pour 1 1/2 cups of the milk mixture carefully over the set red Jello layer (tip: use the back of a spoon to reduce splashing). Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill for about 20-30 minutes, or until fully set but not hard.
Prepare the green Jello layer: Dissolve one green Jello package in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, then let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
Pour the green Jello mixture gently over the creamy layer (again, use the back of a spoon to avoid disturbing the layers). Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Once all layers are firm, slice the Ribbon Jello Salad into squares or rectangles to serve. Enjoy this colorful dessert!
