Layered Finger Jello

I love making recipes with jelly, they are so fun to make and eat. Especially when you have kids, they are a perfect dish to enjoy. I’ve been making quite a few jelly recipes for the past few days.

This recipe is a simple layered finger jelly. I used four jelly packets for this, but you can make as many layers as you like. But the layer of creamy condensed milk between the jelly makes it tastier. These are not your jiggly wiggly jelly recipes, these are more firm and pick and eat kind of jelly. So it’s a great party dish.

About Layered Finger Jelly Recipe

Layered finger jelly is made with packets of instant flavored jelly, unflavored gelatin, and sweetened condensed milk that gives the jelly a firm texture so it can be easily cut into neat finger-sized pieces without breaking.

The creamy white layer is made with sweetened condensed milk which adds a sweet and creamy taste between the jelly.

To make this dessert, each layer of jelly is prepared separately, poured into the greased mold and allowed to set before adding the next layer. The creamy condensed milk layer is prepared the same way and alternated between the colored layers to create a rainbow look.

Although this dessert is simple to make, it requires a little patience. Each layer should be cooled and completely set before the next one is added.

And the jelly should cool slightly before pouring to keep the layers clean and intact. The extra time is worth it when you look at the finished dessert.

Expert advice

• Let each layer cool and set slightly before pouring it over the previous one. This keeps the diapers clean and prevents mixing.
• Make sure each layer is fully defined before adding the next one. If it remains sticky, keep it in the refrigerator for a few more minutes.
• Let the gelatin bloom in cold water for a few minutes before adding hot water. This allows it to dissolve evenly and avoid lumps.
• If the condensed milk mixture thickens while waiting between layers, microwave it for a few seconds and stir until smooth before using.
• For clean, crisp slices, refrigerate the finished finger jelly overnight before cutting and serving.

Storage and service
