Ingredients for 7 Layer Jello

  • Jello Gelatin
  • Unflavored Gelatin
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk

How to Make 7 Layer Jello

  1. Prepare each layer of jello according to package directions, reducing the liquid slightly to make a firmer set. Chill for at least 30 minutes between each layer.
  2. In a 9x13 inch dish, pour a thin layer (about 1/2 cup) of your first jello flavor. Refrigerate until set (approximately 30 minutes).
  3. Repeat with the remaining jello layers, allowing each layer to set completely before adding the next. For best results, use different colors and flavors.
  4. For the creamy white layers, use prepared vanilla pudding mix or whipped cream mixed with a little milk or cream cheese. Chill for 30 minutes between each layer.
  5. Once all layers are set, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the jello to fully firm up.
  6. Before serving, carefully cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
