Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 small boxes (3 ounces / 85 grams each) jello in different flavors (e.g., strawberry, lime, orange, blueberry)
- 1 can (14 ounces / 397 grams) sweetened condensed milk
Liquid Ingredients:
- 3 cups (720 milliliters) boiling water (1 cup per flavor)
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) boiling water
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) cold water
Gelatin Ingredient:
- 2 envelopes (14 grams total) unflavored gelatin (such as Knox)
Instructions
- Create vibrant, colorful jellies by dissolving each flavor separately in boiling water, ensuring complete dissolution and rich color intensity.
- Lightly grease individual containers to prevent sticking, then carefully pour each Jello flavor into its designated vessel, maintaining distinct color layers.
- Chill the prepared Jello containers in the refrigerator, allowing them to set completely and develop a firm, gelatin consistency.
- Once solidified, slice the individual Jello flavors into small, irregular cubes, creating a mosaic-like effect reminiscent of shattered glass.
- Select a clear glass dish or mold to showcase the colorful Jello fragments, preparing it with a light coating of non-stick spray.
- Gently arrange the multicolored Jello cubes within the prepared dish, creating an artistic, random pattern that mimics broken glass.
- Prepare the white condensed milk mixture by combining it with unflavored gelatin, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Carefully pour the white gelatin mixture over the arranged Jello cubes, ensuring it fills the spaces between the colored pieces without disturbing their placement.
- Return the assembled dessert to the refrigerator, allowing the white layer to set completely and bind the colorful Jello fragments.
- Once fully set, slice the dessert into precise squares or diamonds, revealing the stunning “broken glass” interior.
- Serve chilled, presenting a visually stunning and refreshing dessert that delights both the eyes and the palate.
Notes
- Choose vibrant, contrasting Jello colors for a stunning visual effect that pops on the plate.
- Mix flavors like strawberry, lime, and orange to create a rainbow-like appearance that delights both kids and adults.
- Lightly grease the container with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the jello without sticking or breaking.
- Cut the set jello into uniform cubes for a precise, professional-looking dessert that’s Instagram-worthy.
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free Jello and replace some water with fresh fruit juice to enhance natural sweetness.
- Chill serving plates beforehand to keep the jello cubes firm and prevent rapid melting during presentation.
