Time 2h

Yield 27 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 (3 ounce) boxes Jello gelatin, in different colors
6 (1/4 ounce) packets unflavored gelatin
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Very lightly grease a 9"x12" pan.
  • Mix 1 box jello and 1 package gelatin with 1 cup boiling water.
  • Pour into pan and refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.
  • While first layer is setting, dissolve 2 packages gelatin in 1/4 cup cold water. Add 1 can sweetened condensed milk and 1 3/4 cup boiling water. Cool to room temperature.
  • Pour 1 cup milk mixture over the first jello layer; refrigerate until set.
  • Repeat Step 1 with the next jello flavor, making sure it's at room temperature before carefully pouring over the milk layer.
  • Alternate jello and milk layers, ending with the last jello flavor.
  • Keep in mind that as you add more layers it will take longer to set. The jello layers can be mixed up before they are needed to save time, but don't do them all at once at the beginning or they may start gelling before you have a chance to pour them into the pan.
  • Once all the layers are set, cut the jello into 2" squares or, for fun shapes, use small cookie or canape cutters.

7-LAYER JELLO

Very Good! Can change jello flavors to any flavor or color you want. My Mom makes this for get togethers and always get rave reviews. Use can use red and green for Christmas and so on. From THANK HEAVEN FOR HOME MADE COOKS cookbook. Use a 9 x 13 dish. Preferably glass because this is such a beautiful looking salad. Careful when adding the layers. Start out spooning it on and then tip pan and pour out over spoon as not to mix the layers. Worth the wait. Can use sugar-free jello, fat free evaporated milk, and lite cool whip.

SEVEN LAYER JELLO



Seven Layer Jello image

Make this in a clear dish! It is SO pretty and people will be asking how you cut the Jello into such thin and even layers! Cooking time is total time for all the layers to set. Each layer takes about 30-45 minutes to set so it is best to place the white mixture over a pot of hot water to prevent it from getting hard while you are waiting for the Jello to harden.
