Ingredients

  • 3 oz blue Jello
  • 0.25 oz unflavored gelatin packet (1 packet)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 oz red Jello
  • 3 cups water (divided)
  • 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or cool whip)
  • 6 maraschino cherries

Instructions

  • Place 6 cups onto a small baking tray or pan. (This just makes it easier to move the cups into the fridge and out of the fridge without disturbance)
  • Bring 1 cup of water to boil.
  • Pour boiling water over blue jello packet in a small bowl. Stir for 2 minutes.
  • Allow to cool for 10-20 minutes until it's no longer warm.
  • Pour blue jello evenly into the 6 cups. (I used a funnel to pour each layer, to keep it from dripping on the sides)
  • Transfer cups to the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the jello is set.
  • Bring 1 cup of water to boil.
  • Pour boiling water over the unflavored gelatin packet in a small bowl. Stir for 2 minutes.

  • Transfer cups to the refrigerator for about 20 minutes or until the jello is set.
  • Bring 1 cup of water to boil.
  • Pour boiling water over red jello packet in a small bowl. Stir for 2 minutes.
