Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 ounces Strawberry-flavored gelatin
- 3 ounces Lime-flavored gelatin
- 3 ounces Orange-flavored gelatin
- 6 cups Boiling water
- 3 cups Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin
- 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.5 cup Cold water for unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon Oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Prepare the flavored gelatin one at a time. For each flavor, dissolve 1 package of gelatin (3 ounces) in 2 cups of boiling water. Add 1 cup of cold water to each and mix well.
Pour each prepared gelatin mixture into separate shallow containers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Once the flavored gelatin has set, cut each flavor into small cubes (about 1/2-inch in size) and set the cubes aside in a large mixing bowl.
Prepare the creamy base by first blooming the unflavored gelatin. In a small bowl, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup of cold water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Dissolve the bloomed unflavored gelatin by mixing it with 1 cup of hot water. Stir until completely dissolved.
Combine the dissolved gelatin mixture with the sweetened condensed milk. Stir well until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature to avoid melting the colored gelatin cubes.
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or bundt pan with oil or non-stick spray.
Gently fold the flavored gelatin cubes into the cooled condensed milk mixture, being careful not to break them apart.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Once set, carefully loosen the edges with a knife if necessary, and invert onto a serving plate. Slice and serve your beautiful Stained Glass Cake.
