Ingredients

  • 6 ounce box strawberry jello
  • 6 ounce Box Berry Blue Jello
  • 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
  • 5½ cups boiling water divided
  • ½ cup cold water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Line four loaf pans or other small pans with plastic wrap. In four separate bowls, dissolve one box of Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir for 2 full minutes, until it is completely dissolved, then allow to cool to room temperature. Pour each into the prepared pans and chill at least 3 hours, or overnight.
  2. Turn the chilled Jello out onto a cutting board and slice into ½-inch blocks.
  3. Add the blocks to a jelly roll pan or 9x13-inch pan that has been lined with plastic wrap. Gently spread the blocks so they are in an even layer and the colors are evenly mixed.
  4. In a separate large bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into ½ cup cold water and allow to sit for 5 minutes. After the gelatin blooms (it will look mostly dissolved and get wrinkly on the surface), add 1½ cups boiling water and stir to dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk and stir to combine; set aside to cool to room temperature. Pour the cooled milk mixture over the red and blue Jello blocks in the pan. Chill overnight, or at least 3 hours until firm.
  5. Cut into blocks or shapes and serve.

Notes

  • Nutritional values are based on one star
  • I lined my pans with plastic wrap so that I could easily lift the Jello out of the pan and turn it onto a cutting board to slice; you could spray your pans with non-stick cooking spray if you'd prefer.
  • Use any size pan you would like for the red and blue colors, but I've found the smaller, the better. If your pan is too big (I've done 8-inch squares in the past), the blocks come out looking pretty flat.
  • I have found that using a jelly roll pan is the perfect thickness if you're planning to cut shapes. If you are simply cutting into blocks, a 9x13-inch pan will give you thicker blocks and would work just fine.
