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