Ingredients

  • 1 package (3.1 ounces) unflavored red color gelatin
  • 1 package (3.1 ounces) unflavored green color gelatin
  • 1 package (3.1 ounces) unflavored yellow color gelatin
  • 6 ¼ cups water
  • 2 packages (3.1 ounces each) unflavored clear gelatin
  • 12 ounces table cream (all-purpose cream)
  • ½ cup condensed milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a pot, combine the package of red gelatin and 1 ½ cups water. Whisk together until gelatin is dissolved. Over medium heat, bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and pour into a baking dish. Refrigerate to cool and set.
  2. In a pot, combine the package of green gelatin and 1 ½ cups water. Whisk together until gelatin is dissolved. Over medium heat, bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and pour into a baking dish. Refrigerate to cool and set.
  3. In a pot, combine the package of yellow gelatin and 1 ½ cups water. Whisk together until gelatin is dissolved. Over medium heat, bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and pour into a baking dish. Refrigerate to cool and set.
  4. When gelatin are set and firm, cut into 1-inch cubes.
  5. In a pot, combine the 2 packages of clear gelatin and 1 ¾ cups water. Whisk together until gelatin is dissolved. Over medium heat, bring to a boil for about 2 to 3 minutes or until mixture begins to bubble. 
  6. Remove from heat. Add cream and condensed milk and stir well. Pour into a lightly greased mold.
  7.  Randomly drop cubed gelatin into the cream gelatin.
  8. Allow to cool and cover with plastic film. Refrigerate to completely cool and set.
  9. When firm, invert onto a plate to serve.

Notes

  • For even distribution, allow the cream gelatin to thicken slightly before adding the colored cubes. The cream-gelatin base will thicken fast when the all-purpose cream and condensed milk are added, so drop the cubes quickly.
  • Allow the gelatin to cool before covering it with plastic film, as the steam will create water puddles on top.
  • Lightly grease the inside of the mold to make releasing the set gelatin easier. You can also use a silicone mold if you have one.
