These jewel-like beauties were made by my dear friend Julia, the one who introduced me to mochi cake, Berkeley Bowl, Naan ‘n Curry, and the world of good eats in general. Graced with an eye for beauty as well as a discerning palate, she is the inspiration for many of my edible projects. This recipe for Broken Glass Jello, which I prefer to call Stained Glass Jello, comes from here.
Stained Glass Jello
ingredients
4-3 oz. boxes Jell-O
1-14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes Knox gelatin
preparation
Dissolve each box of jello in one cup boiling water. Pour into a container and chill until firm (at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.)
When firm, cut each batch of jello into small blocks. Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13 pan.
Sprinkle Knox gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Once the gelatin blooms, add 1 1/2 cups boiling water to fully dissolve the gelatin. Add the condensed milk, stir and cool. Pour the condensed milk mixture over jello cubes and chill overnight.
Note: Julia said she would double the condensed milk later next time as we all felt there was not enough of the precious creamy gelatin.
this is pretty.
ooh. yes, pretty indeed.
