Ingredients

1 box (3 oz) red Jello

1 box (3 oz) blue Jello

2 packets unflavored gelatin

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

2 ½ cups boiling water

1 cup cold water

8 clear 9-ounce plastic cups

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, dissolve the red Jello in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved.

2. Add ½ cup cold water to the red Jello and mix. Pour ⅓ cup of the red mixture into each of 8 plastic cups. Chill for 1 hour.

3. While red layer sets, sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water in a separate bowl. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.

4. Add 1 cup boiling water to the gelatin and stir until completely dissolved.

5. Mix in 1 can of sweetened condensed milk and stir until fully incorporated. Let cool to room temperature.

6. Once the red layer is set, pour ⅓ cup of the white layer over it. Chill for another 1 hour.

7. Dissolve the blue Jello in 1 cup boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then add ½ cup cold water.

8. When the white layer is set, pour ⅓ cup of blue Jello over it. Chill for at least 2 hours until fully set.

9. Optional: top with whipped cream or festive sprinkles before serving.

Notes

Make sure each layer is fully set before adding the next to avoid mixing.

Use room-temperature liquid for layering to keep layers smooth and clean.

These can be made 2–3 days in advance and stored in the fridge covered.
