Ingredients
- Unflavored gelatin powder (about 2 teaspoons) for jello layers
- Flavored gelatin packets (3-4 flavors, about 3 ounces each) – cherry, lime, orange recommended
- Boiling water
- Cold water
- Sweetened condensed milk (1 cup)
- Milk (1 cup) – whole or 2%
- Unflavored gelatin powder (1 teaspoon) for creamy layer
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, dissolve one flavored gelatin packet (about 3 oz / 85 g) in 1 cup (240 ml) boiling water. Stir gently until fully dissolved without creating foam. Add ½ cup (120 ml) cold water. Let it cool to room temperature but not set (about 10 minutes).
- Pour the cooled gelatin mixture into your mold or cups, about ½ inch (1.25 cm) thick. Place in the refrigerator and chill for about 15-20 minutes until it’s just firm to the touch but not fully set.
- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each gelatin flavor, layering one on top of the other, chilling each layer before adding the next.
- While your last jello layer chills, sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5 g) unflavored gelatin over ¼ cup (60 ml) cold milk in a small bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes. Warm the remaining ¾ cup (180 ml) milk gently (do not boil), then stir in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
- Stir the sweetened condensed milk (1 cup / 300 g) into the warm milk and gelatin mixture until smooth.
- Once the final fruit-flavored layer is ready, gently pour the creamy mixture over it, spreading evenly. Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until fully set.
- To release, dip the mold briefly in warm water (about 5 seconds), then invert onto a serving plate. The layers should hold firm with a beautiful wobble.
Notes
Let each gelatin layer chill until firm but still slightly tacky to ensure layers stick without mixing. Pour gelatin gently over the back of a spoon to avoid disturbing set layers. Avoid whisking vigorously to keep layers clear and bubble-free. Use fingertip test for firmness before adding next layer. For dairy-free version, swap sweetened condensed milk with coconut condensed milk and use plant-based milk alternatives.
