Fourth of July Layered Gelatin image

A hit with kids and those young at heart. My childhood neighbor made it our block party and now, even though I have moved far away, I still make it with fond memories...it just isn't Fourth of July without it! I have seen similar recipes where the white layer is made with sour cream or whipped topping, but this one uses sweetened condensed milk...easy and delicious!

Time 3h15m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (6 ounce) package cherry flavored Jell-O® mix
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water
4 (.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
1 cup boiling water
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (6 ounce) package blue raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix
2 (.25 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 cups boiling water

Steps:

  • Place cherry gelatin mix into a heatproof bowl, stir in 1 packet of unflavored gelatin, and mix with 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until the gelatin has dissolved and the mixture is clear, about 2 minutes. Pour into the bottom of a 9x13 rectangular glass baking dish. Place in refrigerator until completely cold and set, about 1 hour.
  • Sprinkle 4 packets of unflavored gelatin onto 1 cup of boiling water in a heatproof bowl, allow to stand for about 3 minutes, and stir until dissolved; mix in the sweetened condensed milk. Allow to cool but not thicken, about 10 minutes; gently pour into a layer on top of the cherry layer. Return to refrigerator and allow to chill completely, about 1 more hour.
  • Place blue raspberry gelatin mix and 1 packet of unflavored gelatin into a heatproof bowl, and mix with 2 cups of boiling water, stirring until the blue gelatin is clear, about 2 minutes. Allow to stand and cool but not thicken, about 10 minutes; gently pour onto the white layer. Chill in refrigerator until the dessert is firm and cold, about 1 hour. To serve, cut into squares.

The gelatin didn't set properly for me. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This gelatin was a bit too sweet for me, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This gelatin is a great way to use up leftover fruit. I had some strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries that were about to go bad, so I threw them in the gelatin. It turned out great!
