Stained Glass Jello

Sharing is caring!

When I saw this recipe floating around the internet, I thought they looked awesome and couldn’t wait to try them.  Much to my relief they are super quick to make, super inexpensive and super gorgeous lol.  I made them last summer and used up a lot of the jello I already had on hand.  It was delicious (taste like jello with cool whip already on it).  For memorial day I planned to make it with red and blue jello to have a red, white and blue thing going on….but I didn’t have blue jello -_-  So now I will be making the red, white and blue one for the 4^th of July, red, white, and green ones for Christmas, the possibilities are endless and if you cut out shapes with cookie cutters there are even more options.

Stained Glass Jello

4-6 boxes (3-ounces each) Jello (or store brand gelatin dessert) in different colors
14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (Knox)
Water

1. For each flavor, dissolve one box of Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Pour into a square container (I used disposable pans to make things easier because I don’t have 6 square pans lol) and chill 1-3 hours (sets up super fast so just check it)

2. After chilling the flavors, cut them into small blocks.

3. Carefully mix the blocks in a 9×13-inch pan.

4. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin into ½ cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1½ cups boiling water and dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and let cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over Jello blocks in 9×13 pan. Skim off any small bubbles that are created when you pour the condensed milk on the Jello pieces. Chill overnight or at least 3 hours until firm.

5. Cut into blocks or shapes and serve.
