Edwardians were crazy about jellied desserts. Our tastes have evolved but there is still a place for eye catching desserts, like this easy dessert which looks like a work of art. This sea glass jello is great for summer outdoor picnics and parties and can even be served as a hand held treat. With a few adjustments you can make this low fat and reduce the amount of sugar.
Low Fat Sea Glass Jello
If you can boil water you should have no problem with this dessert. It is a handheld treat that will hold up outside. With a few adjustments, you can make this low fat and reduce the amount of sugar. Your work of art is only limited by the colours in the jello rainbow. At Christmas, I will pick green and red as the primary colours.
Servings 10 servings
Ingredients
- 4 boxes Jello-O sugar free
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk low fat
- 2 envelopes unflavoured gelatin
Instructions
- For each flavour, dissolve one box of jello in one cup of boiling water. Pour into a flat container (I use square Ziploc containers) and chill 4 hours until firm or overnight.
- After chilling your colored flavours, run a knife through them and cut them into small blocks.
- Carefully mix the blocks in a 9 x 13 glass pan, or large flat plastic container.
- In another bowl, sprinkle 2 envelopes unflavoured gelatin into 1/2 cup cold water. After the gelatin blooms, add 1 1/2 cup boiling water and dissolve. Add the can of condensed milk. Stir and cool.
- Pour cooled milk mixture over jello and chill overnight
- Slice into large or small blocks and serve.
Notes
Make this dessert your own. You can pick from 2 to 6 different colors and create your own color combinations. Less colors will leave you with a larger white border unless you double up on each color. The downside of using sugar free jello is that it that your color palate is more limited.
