1. Prepare Flavored Gelatin

• In separate bowls, dissolve each box of flavored gelatin in 1 cup of boiling water.
• Stir until completely dissolved, then add 1 cup of cold water to each bowl.
• Let gelatin cool to room temperature (do not refrigerate yet).

2. Prepare Creamy Milk Gelatin

• In a large bowl, sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes.
• Add 2 cups of boiling water and stir until gelatin is fully dissolved.
• Stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, if using. Let cool to room temperature.

3. Set Up Cups

• Arrange 10 clear plastic dessert cups or small glass cups on a tray or baking sheet for easy transfer.
• Make sure the cups are level to ensure neat, even layers.

4. Begin Layering

• Pour approximately 2 tablespoons (or enough to cover the bottom) of the first flavored gelatin into each cup.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes, or until set but not too firm.
• Once set, pour the same amount of milk gelatin on top of the first layer. Chill again until firm.
• Repeat the process, alternating flavored and milk layers.
• Continue until all gelatin layers are used—usually 3–4 flavored and 3–4 milk layers per cup.

5. Chill and Garnish

• Once all layers are completed, refrigerate cups for at least 2 more hours or until fully set.
• Just before serving, garnish with whipped cream, sprinkles, fruit, or mini marshmallows if desired.
