    Ingredients
     

    • 1 6 ounce box raspberry or strawberry jello
    • 1 6 ounce box lime jello
    • 4 cups boiling water
    • ½ cup cold water
    • 2 .25 ounce packages unflavored gelatine
    • 1 ½ cup boiling water
    • 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk

    Instructions
     

    • Place the red jello into a medium bowl. Place 2 cups of water into a pot and bring to boil.
    • Pour the boiling water over the top of the jello and stir well until the jello is dissolved. Repeat with the green jello.
    • Pour the red jello onto a large cookie sheet or a baking pan, and the green jello onto another cookie sheet or baking pan.
    • Place the baking pans or sheets into your refrigerator. Let the jello chill and set for about 3 to 4 hours.
    • When the jello is set, make the milk mixture. Place ½ cup of cold water in a small bowl.
    • Bring 1 ½ cups water to a boil. Pour it over the top of the unflavored gelatine mixture and stir well.
    • Pour 1 can sweetened condensed milk into the mixture. Stir well to combine, then place it in the fridge for about 10 minutes to let cool down.
    • Grease a bundt pan or 9×3 pan with cooking spray.
    • Cut the jello into small pieces. Place all the jello pieces in the pan.
    • When your creamy gelatine mixture has cooled down, pour it over the top of the jello pieces.
    • Place the pan back in the fridge for about 4 to 6hours or overnight.

    Gelatina de Colores o Mosaico (Mosaic Jello)Pin

    Gelatina de Colores also known as Mosaico de Gelatina is a staple at Colombian parties, especially during the holidays. Every year for Christmas one of my aunts would make it and I loved it so much! I've always loved Jello desserts and as a kid, my mom would often have a bowl of Jello in the fridge for quick snacks or desserts, which she would top with sweet condensed milk. Anyway, back to the recipe...

    Gelatina de Colores o Mosaico (Mosaic Jello)Pin

    This is a very easy to make and fun dessert for any party. I love the combination of white, red and green for Christmas, but you could use any combination of colors you’d like, depending on the season.

    This time I used a bundt pan to make my Gelatina de Colores, but you can use a jello mold, a regular bowl, or a casserole dish. This is a great make-ahead dessert for your Christmas dinner.

    Buen provecho!

      This looks great! 🙂 I want to ask can I use sugar and milk if condense milk is not available? If so how much of each?

      Thank you for sharing this recipe! I have a question about step 5. The "place 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl". Is this combined with the unflavored gelatin mixture before the 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and the sweet condensed milk?

      5. When the jello is set, make the milk mixture. Place 1/2 cup of cold water in a small bowl.
      6. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Pour it over the top of the unflavored gelatin mixture and stir well.

        Hi Tina,

        * Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin into the 1/2 cup of cold water. Add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and mix well. Add the condensed milk.

      Hi! I am making this recipe for my daughters class for their holiday party at school, because she is also doing her report on Colombia! I have a question though. Normally, the box of jello calls for 2 cups of boiling water, and 2 cups of cold water. Your recipe only calls for 2 cups of boiling water. Is this correct? I just don't want it to come out too sweet. Thank you!

        For this recipe we have to use less water.

      I want to do this recipe but instead of using a 9x13 pan I want to use individual cups. My question is how much more unflavor gelatin, water and condensed milk should I use? Thank you

      This was the perfect touch to bring a bit of Colombia to my son's birthday celebration. It was gorgeous & delicious. Thank you for sharing your family's traditions and stories. They're a gift to ours 🙂

      Question #1: How far ahead can I make this completely & keep in the Biner pan/refrigerator?

      Question #2: Does it slide right out of the pan when inverted or are there tips for that?

      Thank you!

      I made this for Christmas dinner & everyone loved it! It will become a staple for the Christmas dessert table.

      I forgot to spray the bundt pan so I dipped it into hot water VERY briefly & it slipped right out. It was beautiful on a pedestal cake plate. Thanks for sharing this recipe!
