Ingredients

• Ingredients:
• 3 oz box cherry gelatin dessert
• 3 oz box lime gelatin dessert
• 3 packets unflavored gelatin
• 4 oz can sweetened condensed milk
• Garnish:
• whipped cream
• mint leaves
• small red candies

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:
Lightly coat a square dish with cooking spray.
For red layer, sprinkle half of a packet of gelatin over ¼ cup of water. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Add one box of the cherry gelatin, along with 1 cup boiling water. Stir until everything has dissolved. Repeat the same process to make the green layer.
To make the white layer, sprinkle two packets of gelatin over ½ cup of water. Allow it to soak in a minute or two. Pour in 1 cup of boiling water and one 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk. Stir until everything the gelatin is dissolved. You’ll have about 3 cups of liquid. Allow to cool to room temperature.
Pour half of the red mixture into the prepared pan. Place pan in refrigerator for 20 minutes to set. Once set, add 1/3 of the white mixture to the top of the red mixture. Pop any air bubbles and return to fridge to set for about 20 minutes. Repeat with half of the green mixture. Then white, then red, then white again, then green. Allow finished pan to set another 2-3 hours, or overnight.
When you’re ready to serve, gently pull the edges away from the pan, and invert onto a cutting board. Slice into even squares.
Place on serving platter and top with whipped cream, using a piping bag or can. Top with a small mint leaf and a red candy (or two) to simulate a holly leaf.
