Ingredients
- 3 packages (3 oz each) Flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, lime, orange)
- 2 packages (0.25 oz each) Unflavored gelatin
- 14 oz Sweetened condensed milk
- 6 cups Water
- 1 cup Hot water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare each flavored gelatin package by dissolving it in 1 cup of boiling water and 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour each flavor into separate shallow containers and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until fully set.
Step 2
Once the flavored gelatin is set, cut each flavor into small cubes (approximately 1/2-inch). Set the cubes aside in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve 2 packages of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of hot water. Stir well to ensure it is completely dissolved.
Step 4
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the unflavored gelatin mixture and mix thoroughly. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Gently pour the cooled milk mixture over the flavored gelatin cubes in the large mixing bowl. Use a spatula to carefully mix the cubes into the creamy base without breaking them apart.
Step 6
Lightly grease a rectangular or square pan (9x13-inch works well) or use a silicone mold for easy removal. Pour the entire mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.
Step 7
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Step 8
Once set, slice the dessert into squares or rectangles, and serve chilled.
