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
