Layered Christmas Jell-O

Notes

I chose strawberry and lime to pair with the sweetened condensed milk for festive winter colors, but you could do whatever colors you want. A tea kettle, or other source of boiling water is strongly recommended to make this easier. Non-stick spray is so you can cleanly get that bottom layer out of the pan.

Ingredients

For a 9 layer treat:

• Three 3 oz boxes red Jell-o
• Two 3 oz boxes green Jell-o
• Two 14 oz cans of sweetened condensed milk
• 9 packets of unflavored Knox gelatin (1 per Jell-O layer, 2 per can of condensed milk)

Directions

Before you start mixing anything

• Bring about 8 cups of water to a boil so it's ready when needed.
• Set up a flat space in your fridge for chilling the jell-o layers.
• Coat 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with cooking spray.

Prepare first colored layer (red)

1. Pour one packet of gelatin into a bowl.
2. Add 1/4 of cold water to the powdered gelatin.
3. Mix until consistency is even.
4. Add 1 cup of boiling hot water.
5. Quickly pour in one 3 oz packet of Jell-O.
6. Carefully stir, avoiding forming bubbles, until completely dissolved.
7. Gently pour into greased 13 X 9 pan.
8. Chill in fridge for 10 -15 minutes.

Meanwhile prepare the creamy layer
