A colorful and visually appealing dessert made with different flavors of gelatin set in a cream cheese base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (3 ounces) red gelatin
- 1 package (3 ounces) green gelatin
- 1 package (3 ounces) yellow gelatin
- 1 package (3 ounces) blue gelatin
- 4 cups boiling water, divided
- 4 cups cold water, divided
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup cold water
Instructions
- Prepare each flavor of gelatin separately according to package directions, using 1 cup boiling water and 1 cup cold water for each. Pour each color into a separate shallow dish. Refrigerate until firm, about 4 hours or overnight.
- Once firm, cut the set gelatin into 1/2-inch cubes.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
- Gradually whisk the dissolved gelatin into the cream cheese.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined and smooth.
- Gently fold the colored gelatin cubes into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch pan or a decorative mold.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
- To serve, cut into squares or unmold and slice.
Notes
- You can use any combination of gelatin colors and flavors you like.
- For easier cutting, lightly grease the shallow dishes before adding the gelatin.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth mixture.
