Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ¼ cups heavy whipping cream
• 5 (3 ounce) packages sweetened gelatin mix (such as Jell-O®), 5 different colors
• 3 ½ cups boiling water, divided
• 3 ½ cups cold water, divided
• 1 (1 ounce) package unflavored gelatin powder
• 1 (14.1 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place each gelatin mix in a separate bowl; stir 1/2 cup boiling water into each until completely dissolved, about 2 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup cold water into each gelatin mix; refrigerate until completely set, 4 hours to overnight.

Step 2

Grease a 9-inch cake pan or use a silicone mold. Slice the chilled gelatin into cubes and gently toss together; tip into the prepared cake pan.

Step 3

Pour 1 cup cold water into a bowl and sprinkle unflavored gelatin over water; let sit until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes. Add 1 cup boiling water and stir until gelatin is dissolved.

Step 4

Pour sweetened condensed milk into a blender or food processor. Add cream, unflavored gelatin mixture and vanilla extract to the blender. Blend mixture until well combined; pour over gelatin cubes in the cake pan. Evenly distribute milk mixture using a spatula.

Step 5

Refrigerate until set, 4 hours to overnight. Run a knife along the sides of the mold and invert cake onto a plate.
