Ingredients
  

  • 2 3oz Boxes Strawberry Jello
  • 1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 4 packets knox unflavored gelatin powder
  • water

Instructions
 

Strawberry Bottom Layer

  • Grease a 9x9 glass pan, and line the bottom with parchment, forming a sling so you can pull your jello out later.
  • In a small container, add 1/4 cup water, and sprinkle 1 packet of unflavored gelatin. Leave to bloom for 5 minutes.
  • Add in 1 box of strawberry jello powder to the bloomed gelatin.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water, and stir well until everything is dissolved.
  • Pour 3/4 cup of cool water over the mixture. Pour into your prepared pan, cover with saran wrap, and let set in the fridge for 4 hours. Ensure your pan is on a level surface so it sets evenly - this is important so your layers do not slide on your stacks later.

Cream Middle Layer

  • In a small container, add 1/4 cup water, and sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin. Leave to bloom for 5 minutes.
  • Pour 1/2 cup of boiling water, and stir well until everything is dissolved. Then add 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, and stir in fully.
  • Pour 3/4 cup of cool water over the mixture. Pour into your prepared pan over the fully set strawberry layer, cover with saran wrap, and let set in the fridge for 4 hours.

Strawberry Top Layer

  • In a small container, add 1/4 cup water, and sprinkle 1 packet of unflavored gelatin. Leave to bloom for 5 minutes.
  • Add in 1 box of strawberry jello powder to the bloomed gelatin.

Create your stacks

  • Using the parchment sling, gently tug your jello out of your pan.
  • Using a metal (at least 1.5inch tall) cutter of your choice - dip it in a neutral oil. Push the cutter straight down into the layers, do not twist. Pull out your stack - it may help to run a bench scraper under your stack if it sticks a bit. The layers are not stuck together, so be gentle while handling them.
  • Enjoy! The scraps are great for cutting into cubes and serving in bowls.
