Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 3 different flavored jello packets
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Prepare three different colored/flavored jello packets separately according to package instructions. Use 1 cup of cold water for each flavor.
- Pour each flavored jello into separate shallow rectangular dishes or baking pans. Refrigerate until completely set, approximately 2-3 hours.
- Once jello layers are firm, cut each color into small cubes of roughly equal size (approximately 1/2 inch). Gently mix the colored cubes together in a large serving dish.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved.
- Add sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk to the gelatin mixture. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
- Carefully pour the white milk mixture over the colorful jello cubes, ensuring the cubes are evenly distributed.
- Refrigerate the mosaic jello for an additional 1-2 hours until the white layer is completely set.
- Before serving, let the gelatina rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to make cutting and serving easier.
- Slice and serve chilled. Garnish with additional fresh fruit if desired.
Tips
- Choose contrasting jello flavors and colors to create a more visually striking mosaic effect.
- Use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts to get precise, neat jello cubes.
- Make sure your initial jello layers are completely set before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- When mixing the milk layer, whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Allow the gelatina to set slowly in the refrigerator for the best texture and appearance.
- For an extra touch of elegance, consider using clear glass serving dishes to showcase the beautiful mosaic pattern.
- Experiment with different fruit jello flavors to create unique color combinations and taste experiences.
