  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 20 servings

Ingredients

– Six 3-ounce packages of flavored gelatin: Berry Blue, Lime, Lemon, Orange, Grape, and a red flavor such as Raspberry, Cherry, or Strawberry for colorful layers

– Five and a half 1-ounce packages of unflavored gelatin to help the layers set firmly

– One and a half 14-ounce cans of sweetened condensed milk for white layers creamy texture and sweetness

– Eight and a half cups of water for dissolving the gelatin

Instructions

1-First Step: Prepare the Bottom Layer Begin with the purple layer by dissolving one 3-ounce package of grape flavored gelatin along with 1 teaspoon (half of a 1-ounce package) of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until everything is completely dissolved, then pour it into your 9 by 13-inch pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator on a flat surface and let it chill until set, which takes about 30 minutes.

2-Second Step: Make the White Layer While the first layer sets, prepare the white layer by stirring 2 teaspoons (one full 1-ounce package) of unflavored gelatin into 1 cup of boiling water until fully dissolved. Add half of a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk and stir well to combine. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature, but donโ€™t let it set yet this usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

3-Third Step: Add the Next Colored Layer Once the purple layer is firm, move on to the next color in the rainbow order, which is Berry Blue. Dissolve another 3-ounce package of flavored gelatin with 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water, stirring until dissolved. Let this cool slightly before pouring. Then, pour about three-quarters of a cup of the cooled white mixture over the set colored layer, tilting the pan gently to spread it evenly. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes until it sets.

4-Fourth Step: Continue Layering Keep alternating between the colored layers and the white layers, following the rainbow order: after Berry Blue, go to Lime, then Lemon, Orange, and finally the red flavor. For each colored layer, use the same method as the first, preparing it fresh each time and letting it cool before adding. Youโ€™ll need to make the white layer multiple times as it sets quickly at room temperature, so prepare just enough for each use. Each layer should chill for 20-30 minutes to ensure they donโ€™t mix.

5-Fifth Step: Finalize and Cut the Cubes After all layers are added and fully set which might take around 4 hours total chilling time itโ€™s time to slice. Use a paring knife to cut the gelatin into one-inch squares for clean edges. Gently lift the cubes from the pan using a small spatula to avoid squishing them. This step ensures your cubes look neat and are easy to serve.

Notes

โ„๏ธ Cool each colored gelatin mixture slightly before pouring over set layers to avoid melting previous ones, ensuring sharp, distinct colors and no cloudiness in the final rainbow effect.
๐Ÿ”ช Use a sharp paring knife to score and cut the set gelatin for precise 1-inch cubes with clean edges, making it easier to lift without breaking the delicate layers.
โฐ Prepare the creamy white mixture fresh for each addition, and if it begins to set, gently warm the bowl in hot water while stirring to restore liquidity without altering consistency.
