Ingredients
Blue Layer
- 1 box blue jello (3oz box, any flavor) Ensure it's sugar-free for a lighter treat.
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
White Layer
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14oz/395g) Adds creaminess.
Red Layer
- 1 box red jello (3oz box, any flavor) Ensure it's sugar-free for a lighter treat.
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup whipped cream For topping.
- as needed tablespoon red, white, and blue sprinkles For garnish.
Instructions
Preparation
- Place your small cups on a large baking sheet or tray to prevent spills.
- In a bowl, combine blue jello with 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until completely dissolved. Add 1 cup of cold water and mix well. Pour this layer into the prepared cups, filling them about one-third full. Refrigerate until set (about 2 hours).
- In another bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water. Allow it to bloom for a few minutes. Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir until dissolved. Mix in the sweetened condensed milk, and pour gently over the blue layer once set. Refrigerate for another hour.
- Repeat the process with the red jello. Combine red jello with 1 cup of boiling water, stir until dissolved, and add 1 cup of cold water. Once the white layer is firm, pour the red layer on top and refrigerate until fully set (at least 2 hours).
- Top each cup with whipped cream and sprinkle with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
Notes
These jello cups are best served chilled. Store in the fridge for up to a week. You can prepare them a day or two ahead of your event for convenience.
