A stunning, vibrant jelly dessert made with just 4 ingredients—no baking, no fuss! Perfect for kids, parties, or a fun summer treat.
Ingredients
-
4 packs (3 oz each) of flavored gelatin (different colors/flavors, e.g., strawberry, lime, blue raspberry, orange)
-
4 cups boiling water (1 cup per flavor)
-
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
-
2 packets (0.25 oz each) unflavored gelatin (like Knox)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Colored Gelatin Layers
-
Dissolve each gelatin pack separately in 1 cup boiling water.
-
Pour each into a small square dish (8×8-inch works well).
-
Chill for 2+ hours or until firm, then cut into small cubes.
2. Make the Milky Gelatin Mixture
-
Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water, let sit for 5 mins.
-
Heat 1½ cups water until hot (not boiling), then whisk in the bloomed gelatin until dissolved.
-
Stir in sweetened condensed milk, then let cool slightly (10 mins).
3. Assemble the Mosaic Jelly
-
In a large dish (9×13-inch or decorative mold), mix the colored gelatin cubes.
-
Pour the milky gelatin mixture over the cubes, filling all gaps.
-
Chill 4+ hours or overnight until fully set.
4. Slice & Serve
-
Cut into squares or fun shapes to reveal the “mosaic” effect!
Tips for Success
🌈 Use bright colors for the best visual effect (e.g., red, green, blue, yellow).
❄️ Chill each layer thoroughly to prevent colors bleeding.
🍬 Make it vegan with coconut milk + agar-agar instead of condensed milk/gelatin.
🍹 Add fruit (like diced mango or berries) for extra texture!
