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!

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk (don't get evaporated milk)
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin (that Knox stuff)

Steps:

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!

1 pkg 3 oz. cherry jell-o
1 pkg 3 oz. lime jell-o
1 pkg 3 oz. lemon jell-o

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!
