A vibrant, layered dessert bursting with fruity flavor and color — a nostalgic crowd-pleaser perfect for parties and holidays.
# The Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Jello Layers
01 - 5 boxes (3 oz each) flavored gelatin in rainbow colors (e.g., strawberry, orange, lemon, lime, blueberry)
02 - 5 cups boiling water (1 cup per gelatin box)
→ Cream Layers
03 - 1 can (396 g / 14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
04 - 2 packets unflavored gelatin
05 - 1 cup boiling water
06 - ½ cup cold water
→ Fruit (optional)
07 - 1 cup finely chopped fresh fruit (e.g., strawberries, mandarin oranges, kiwi, blueberries)
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 - Lightly grease a large bundt pan or silicone mold with neutral oil or nonstick spray.
02 - Dissolve one flavored gelatin packet in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
03 - Pour into the mold and chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes or until just set but not firm.
04 - While the first layer chills, dissolve 2 packets of unflavored gelatin in ½ cup cold water. After 5 minutes, stir in 1 cup boiling water and the sweetened condensed milk. Cool to room temperature.
05 - Pour about ½ cup of the cream mixture over the set Jello layer. Chill for 20 minutes or until just set.
06 - Repeat the process with remaining flavors, alternating Jello and cream layers. Allow each layer to partially set before adding the next to maintain separation.
07 - After adding the final layer, chill the mold for at least 2 hours or until fully firm.
08 - To unmold, briefly dip the pan in warm water (10–15 seconds), then invert onto a serving plate. Serve cold.
