However, achieving the classic cut glass look requires specific ingredients and a methodical preparation technique. This guide will walk you through the steps to create a visually stunning and mouthwatering cut glass jello.

BROKEN GLASS CAKE
The name does not accurately describe this dessert but since it has been a family favorite for so many years I am loathe to change it. This is a light, child-friendly dessert we instituted for the children at Christmas. It is especially well-received after a heavy meal. You will be asked for seconds!

Steps:
- For each flavor, dissolve one box of jello in one cup of boiling water. Pour into a container and chill (overnight is probably best, but I chilled it 3 hours until firm). After chilling the four flavors, cut them into small blocks. Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13 pan. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight. Cut into blocks or shapes and serve!

Tips for Making Cut Glass Jello:
- Use a high-quality gelatin powder or sheets. This will help to ensure that your jello sets properly and has a good flavor.
- Make sure the water is boiling when you add the gelatin. This will help to dissolve the gelatin completely and prevent it from clumping.
- Allow the jello to cool slightly before pouring it into the mold. This will help to prevent the jello from setting too quickly and becoming rubbery.
- Chill the jello for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the jello to set completely and become firm.
- To cut the jello, use a sharp knife that has been dipped in hot water. This will help to create clean, even cuts.
- Serve the jello with your favorite toppings, such as fruit, whipped cream, or nuts.
Conclusion:
Cut glass jello is a classic dessert that is both beautiful and delicious. With a little practice, you can easily make this stunning dessert at home. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to serve, give cut glass jello a try. Your guests will be impressed!
