Steps:
- Dissolve each box of jello into its own individual container, using 1 cup of boiling water per flavor (no more than 1-inch deep.) Chill until solid, about 3 hours or overnight.
- Once solid, cut each of the different flavors into small square cubes.
- Using a 9×13 glass dish, gently mix the cubes together in an even layer (being very careful not to break or tear them.)
- In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin in 2 cups of hot water. Let the hot mixture cool slightly and then whisk in the sweetened condensed milk.
- Let mixture cool to the touch (If it's too warm, it could melt the Jello cubes.) Then evenly pour the mixture over the cubes of Jello.
- Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
- Cut into squares and serve.

BROKEN GLASS CAKE
The name does not accurately describe this dessert but since it has been a family favorite for so many years I am loathe to change it. This is a light, child-friendly dessert we instituted for the children at Christmas. It is especially well-received after a heavy meal. You will be asked for seconds!

Tips:
- Choose the right Jell-O flavors. The colors and flavors of the Jell-O you choose will determine the final look and taste of your cake. For a classic broken glass cake, use red, blue, and green Jell-O. You can also use other colors and flavors to create a custom cake.
- Make sure the Jell-O is set before assembling the cake. If the Jell-O is not set, it will be difficult to handle and the cake will not hold together. To ensure that the Jell-O is set, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Be careful when cutting the Jell-O. Use a sharp knife and cut slowly to avoid breaking the Jell-O into too small pieces.
- Chill the cake before serving. This will help the cake to set and make it easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Jello Broken Glass Cake is a fun and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover Jell-O, and it is always a hit with kids and adults alike. With a little creativity, you can create a custom cake that is sure to impress your guests.
