Servings: 48
Calories per serving: 56
Ingredients:
4 to 6 three oz boxes of Jell-O in desired colors (use 4 boxes if you want the top to be mostly smooth)
One 14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
2 tbsp of unflavored gelatin
Boiling water
Cold water
Step 1: Prepare Jell-O as per package instructions. Refrigerate for several hours (I left mine overnight).
....
Step 2: Cut Jell-o into cubes.
Step 3: Lightly oil a 9″ x 13″ glass baking dish. Place cubes into casserole dish, rotating colors so they are mixed up and pretty!
Step 4: In a bowl, sprinkle gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. Let sit for 1-2 minutes.
Step 5: Add 1 1/2 cups boiling water to gelatin mix, stirring until disolved.
Step 6: Add condensed milk to gelatin mix. Stir and cool. (I set mine in the fridge for about 30 minutes; don't leave in fridge too long and make sure to check on it so it doesn't get too cold and solidfy. I also put my Jell-o cubes back in the fridge during this time.)
Step 7: Pour cooled mixture over Jell-o cubes. Refrigerate overnight.
....
Step 8: Once the new Jell-O/milk mixture is fully set, use a sharp knife dipped in HOT water to slice into desired portions (squares/cubes/rectangles). Keep dipping knife into hot water between cuts to have cleaner cut lines.
Recipe time: not listed
My cooking time: Less than 15 minutes active time (but a lot of waiting/cooling time--2 days)
This dish looks so cool! And tastes even better! It was soooooo easy to put together, you just have to make sure you plan in advance if you want to make it for an event, because there is a lot of "fridge time". AND it's inexpensive to make! I picked up the Jell-O and condensed milk at Walmart for a total of ~$4. The gelatin I had on hand already, but I think it would add only another $1-2 if you bought envelopes of gelatin too. Will definitely make again!!
