Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Jello Layers
  • 4 to 5 small boxes flavored gelatin in different colors Use regular, not sugar-free, for better texture.
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin (optional) Helps layers stay firm.
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk For creamy layers.
  • 1 cup Cool Whip or whipped cream For topping.
For Decoration
  • Sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or Peeps Choose for decoration.
For Mixing
  • 2 cups cold water For mixing with gelatin.
  • 2 cups ice To cool down the gelatin quickly.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pick your cups and set them on a tray that fits in your fridge.
  2. Dissolve the first gelatin flavor in boiling water according to package instructions, then add cold water to cool it down.
  3. Pour a small amount into each cup, about 1 to 2 inches deep.
  4. Chill for 20 to 30 minutes until the surface feels set when tapped.
  5. Repeat with the next color, mixing a portion of prepared gelatin with sweetened condensed milk for creamy layers.
  6. Once all layers are set, top with whipped cream and decorate just before serving.

Notes

Keep layers thin for faster setting and better portion control. If your kitchen is warm, let mixed gelatin cool before pouring to avoid melting the layers.
