Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 oz Red-flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry or cherry)
- 3 oz Green-flavored gelatin (e.g., lime)
- 3 oz Blue-flavored gelatin (e.g., berry blue)
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 2 packets Unflavored gelatin packets
- 4 cups Boiling water
- 2 cups Cold water
Instructions
Prepare the red-flavored gelatin. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the red gelatin powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour this mixture into a 9x13 inch glass dish and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour.
Once the red layer is set, prepare the creamy middle layer. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 unflavored gelatin packet in 1/4 cup cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom. Add 3/4 cup boiling water to the bloomed gelatin and stir until dissolved. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, stirring well to combine.
Let the creamy layer cool to room temperature, then pour it gently over the set red gelatin layer. Return the dish to the refrigerator and allow it to set, about 1 hour.
Prepare the green-flavored gelatin. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the green gelatin powder with 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the creamy layer is set, gently pour the green gelatin over it. Return the dish to the refrigerator and allow it to set, about 1 hour.
Finally, prepare the blue-flavored gelatin by combining the blue gelatin powder with 1 cup of boiling water in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir until fully dissolved, then add 1/2 cup of cold water.
Let the blue gelatin cool to room temperature, then pour it gently over the set green layer. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once all layers are set, slice the Tri Tone Jello into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy your vibrant, layered dessert!
