Red, White, and Blue Jello Stars

adapted from Our Best Bites

Ingredients

  • 2 3- ounce packages red jello
  • 2 3- ounce packages blue jello
  • 2 packets unflavored gelatin
  • 1 14- ounce can sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Spray 4 small square containers nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Bring 5+ cups of water to a boil. Combine 1 c. boiling water with 1 package of Jello, stirring until dissolved. Place the dissolved Jello in one of the prepared containers. Repeat with the remaining packages of Jello. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferable overnight.
  3. When the Jello has set, bring another 1 ½ cup of water to a boil. While the water is heating, sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin over ½ c. of cold water. Allow to stand for about 4 minutes. When the water has come to a boil, pour 1 ½ cup boiling water over the dissolved gelatin and stir to combine. Add the sweetened condensed milk and mix well. Allow to cool to room temperature.
  4. Lightly spray a 9×13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Carefully cut the colored Jello into cubes and gently toss to combine in the 9×13-inch pan. Pour the cooled milk mixture over the colored Jello. Press down any jello cubes that are sticking too far out of the white mixture.
  5. Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill overnight. Use a star-shaped cookie cutter to carefully cut stars out of the jello. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
