Broken Glass Jello

The jello pieces themselves look like little jewels spread out on a plate. The kids had a blast just picking them up and eating as is. I was just too inspired by what I had seen on the blog and wanted to really try out the broken glass jello. 

My Jello did not turn out as good as hers and I had a few lessons learnt this time around .... the milk mixture should have had more gelatine than what I put in - that would have meant cleaner, firmer pieces. It will be a good idea to check the bloom factor of the gelatine that you're using unless you are able to get your hands on gelatine sheets.

Also the milk mixture needs to cool down completely before it's added to the jelly pieces. When I added the milk, it was slightly lukewarm. When this milk was added to the prepared jelly cubes, it started to melt them a little resulting in the flavor from the jello going to the milk. That can be easily avoided. Make sure that the milk mixture is cooled before you add it to the jello cubes.

This recipe did give me a few ideas ..... coffee flavored jello will come up next! Imagine cubes of esspresso in a milky base. Sounds good to me!!!

✅ INGREDIENTS

• 2 flavored Jello packages (3oz) [Strawberry and Lime]
• 1/2 can condensed milk
• 1 tsp powdered gelatine

✅ INSTRUCTIONS

1. Dissolve each packet of jello in one cup of boiling water each. Put the mixture in individual containers and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours till the jello is set.

2. Once set, take out the jello and cut into small cubes. (Lining your containers with plastic wrap helps to take out the jello and cut it very easily.

3. Mix the colored cubes in a 9X13 pan.

4. In a separate bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add the 1/2 can of condensed milk. Stir and cool. Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight.

5. Cut into pieces and serve!

Rarely do you get the chance to transform something very basic and simple to something creative and beautiful and when I saw this blog post from the Food Librarian, an amazing blogger with whom I feel I share a passion for cooking and feeding others (even though my repertoire of recipes is nowhere close to hers!), I just could not stop myself from trying this! The idea is simple, Jello .... but you put some thought to it and end up with something amazing! And just the sheer simplicity of the recipe .... just a few steps and you have a gorgeous dessert that satisfies the kid in everyone.
