Broken Glass Jello Recipe

This recipe for Broken Glass Jello is a true crowd-pleaser. Also known as stained glass jello, this dish is perfect for potlucks and holiday entertaining. This side dish uses four different flavors of Jello that float in sweetened gelatin. It is so beautiful to serve!

Ingredients

4 small boxes of jello (3 oz), different colors
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
2 envelopes unflavored gelatin
Water

How to Make Broken Glass Jello

Dissolve each box of jello into its own small plastic container (using 1 cup of boiling water per flavor) and chill overnight or until solid.
Cut each of the different flavors into small squares or cubes.
Using a 9×13 glass dish, mix the cubes gently together. You just want to mix them up, so be very careful not to break them up.
In a medium-sized bowl, dissolve 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin in 2 cups of hot water. Let the hot mixture cool slightly and then mix in the sweetened condensed milk.
Let cool completely (it should be cool to your touch). Pour the condensed milk and gelatin mixture over the cubes of Jello.
Chill in the refrigerator overnight.
Cut and serve.

Tips

Do not follow the instructions on the box of Jello and do not use the traditional 2 cups of water that you typically use when making jello for the jello cubes! We want the jello squares to be less diluted.
Be sure to let the condensed milk mixture cool COMPLETELY or it will melt the colored Jello cubes if you pour in the mixture when it is warm.
Got a bundt pan? You can make it in there for a really pretty Broken Glass Jello mold.

Variations

Have fun with the flavors and colors!

Christmas Dinner: Use red and green Jello for the jello cubes.
Halloween Party: Use green, purple, and orange Jello for the cubes.
Valentine’s Day: Use pink and red Jello for the cubes.
