Footnotes

  • JELL-O Gelatin Preparation Tip: If you've added the boiling water to the dry JELL-O Gelatin and cannot get the gelatin to completely dissolve, place the gelatin in a microwaveable bowl and microwave on HIGH 30 sec. This should bring up the temperature of the water to a point where it is hot enough to completely dissolve the gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved.
  • Variation: Use 8x4-inch loaf pan. Unmold, then slice to serve.

Remember this is basically a jello dessert so best case scenerio is that it's going to taste like jello. I made this according to the instructions and if you like jello you should like this.The white mixture was slightly sweeter, but barely noitcable. I loved the way it looked, but I made it in a smaller aproximately 8 by11 casserole dish because the 9 by 13 looked way to large and it would have only been about 1 inch high which is way to short for presentation purposes. I feel that the dish I used was too big. I would like to try make this in a bread or meatloaf pan so that I could get that wow factor. This is a good dessert for the warmer seasons.

Just made this for my fiancé and he loved it. We are in Australia and therefore used an Aussie jelly brand. Will make again, it's very pretty for company!

I used SF jello and FF condensed sweet milk to make this colorful dessert. The thing that I didn't like about this is that I ended up having two very distinct layers. The instructions say to cool the sweet milk mixture "slightly," but I think it really needs to start to jell a bit, and then you mix in the jello cubes. The cubes were lighter and, therefore, rose to the top. I'm going to try this again preparing it that way, and hopefully, the jello cubes will be more evenly distributed throughout the dessert. But that's really just a presentation thing; we like jello, and we enjoyed this fun and slightly-sweet dessert.

It was very easy to make, and you can use whatever jell-o flavours suit you. I couldn't find lemon, so ended up using blue. I think you should chill the white jelly a bit to thicken it before you mix in the coloured cubes (but do keep an eye on it. I found the white layer to thicken very quickly). It's an eye-catching dessert, simple to make and perfectly good.

Awesome recipe! I used strawberry and blue berry jello for a patriotic jello creation for the annual 4th of July family lunch.

This was very exciting to my kids, and the final steps were great for them to do themselves. We changed up the colors/flavors and used a more loaf shaped pan to get a thicker serving size. Loved the way it looked and tasted. Thinking of trying it with an asian mango custardy mix for the background instead of the white next time. Also, Ready Time is off if you have to chill two times.

Very easy and straight forward to make. Mixture held together very well and was easy to cut and remove from the mold. Overall, it was delicious, but I did find the white jello a little sweet, but that may only be because I'm used to the recipe where it's made from thickened cream and pineapple juice.
