Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by boiling water as per package instructions for both the Berry Blue Jell-O and Strawberry Jell-O. In separate bowls, pour the boiling water over the Jell-O powder for each color, stirring until completely dissolved. Once mixed, pour the blue Jell-O into a baking dish and the red Jell-O into another. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set and firm to the touch.
- In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over cold water, allowing it to bloom for 5 minutes. After blooming, heat 1.5 cups of boiling water and stir into the gelatin mixture until completely dissolved. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, creating a creamy base, and let it cool down to room temperature.
- Once your colored Jell-O layers are completely set, remove them from the refrigerator. Use a knife to cut each Jell-O layer into cubes, ensuring they are uniform for a neat presentation. Transfer the colorful Jell-O cubes into a 9x13 glass baking dish, layering them evenly.
- Gently pour the creamy layer over the Jell-O cubes in the baking dish. Return the dish to the refrigerator and chill overnight to ensure everything sets well and the flavors meld beautifully.
- When you're ready to serve, remove the set Jell-O from the refrigerator. Use medium-sized star cookie cutters to cut out star shapes from the vibrant dessert. Arrange them on a colorful platter for a delightful presentation.
