Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cooking spray
2 3-ounce boxes purple gelatin (such as grape)
6 cups boiling water
2 3-ounce boxes red gelatin (such as strawberry)
2 3-ounce boxes pink gelatin (such as watermelon)
6 1/4-ounce packets unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold water
3 cups boiling water
2 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk
Cooking spray
30 chocolate wafer cookies (from a 9-ounce package)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cold heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make the colored gelatin: Lightly coat three 9-inch square cake pans with cooking spray. Combine the purple gelatin and 2 cups boiling water in a medium bowl; stir until dissolved. Pour into one of the prepared pans. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. Repeat to make pans of red and pink gelatin. (You can make these in batches if you don¿t have three pans.)
  • When all three colors are set, make the white gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water in a large bowl; let stand 1 minute. Add the boiling water and condensed milk and stir until dissolved. Let cool to room temperature, at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the crust: Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray, then line with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang; coat with more cooking spray. Pulse the chocolate cookies in a food processor until finely ground. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Generously coat two more 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray; set aside.
  • Loosen the edges of the purple gelatin with a knife and turn out onto a cutting board. Cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cubes and layer over the chocolate cookie crust. Cut the red and pink gelatin into cubes and layer each one in the remaining two pans. Divide the cooled white gelatin mixture among the three pans, pouring it over the cubes (about 2 cups per pan). Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours.
  • Make the whipped cream: Beat the heavy cream and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl with a mixer until soft peaks form; set aside. Using the plastic wrap to help you, lift the purple gelatin cake out of the pan. Discard the plastic wrap and transfer the cake to a platter. Spread with a thin layer of whipped cream. Loosen the edges of the red gelatin cake with a knife and turn out of the pan; place on top of the purple cake and spread with more whipped cream. Remove the pink gelatin cake from the pan and place on top of the red cake. Cover the top and side of the cake with the remaining whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of fruits: This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include berries, peaches, apricots, and apples.
  • Don't overcook the fruit: You want the fruit to be soft, but not mushy. Cook it just until it starts to soften and release its juices.
  • Use a high-quality gelatin: This will ensure that your pie sets properly. Look for a gelatin that is made from 100% pure gelatin, and avoid using any gelatin that contains added sugar or other ingredients.
  • Dissolve the gelatin properly: Follow the package directions carefully when dissolving the gelatin. If you don't dissolve the gelatin properly, it won't set properly and your pie will be runny.
  • Chill the pie thoroughly: This will help the pie to set properly. Chill the pie for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.

Conclusion:

Crown Jewel Gelatin Pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a hit with guests.
