Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add flavored jello packages to 4 separate containers.
  • Whisk and dissolve each flavor into one Cup of boiling water.
  • Place containers in the refrigerator for 4 hours, or until firmly set.
  • When jello is set, cut into cubes and place into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, mixing the colors around randomly.
  • Add unflavored gelatin powder and hot water to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Whisk until powder is dissolved, then add sweetened condensed milk and whisk until combined.
  • Pour condensed milk mixture into baking dish with jello cubes.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours, or until completely set and firm.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut into squares and serve. You will get between 12 and 16 squares depending on the size you make them.

Notes

Let cubes set firm: Fully set jello cuts clean and stays defined.
Cool the creamy mix: Let it sit briefly so cubes don’t soften on contact.
Spread cubes evenly: Better spacing gives prettier slices.
Slice cold: A chilled pan cuts cleaner. If you cut the jello too early, it will be a mess.
