Prepare the first colored Jello layer: Dissolve 1 packet of flavored Jello in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir well to ensure it is fully dissolved, then pour into a 9x13-inch glass dish. Place in the refrigerator to set for 20-30 minutes.
While the first layer sets, prepare the white layer: In a mixing bowl, dissolve 1 packet of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then add 1/2 cup of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Mix in half of the can of sweetened condensed milk and stir until smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Once the first Jello layer is set, gently pour a layer of the white mixture over it. Return the dish to the refrigerator and let it set for 20-30 minutes.
Repeat these steps alternating between colored Jello layers and white layers. Use a different flavor for each colored layer to create the ribbon effect. Allow each layer to fully set before adding the next.
After the final layer is added, refrigerate the dish for at least 4-6 hours, or until the entire dessert is firm and fully set.
To serve, slice the Ribbon Jello into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife. Clean the knife between cuts for clean edges.
