Here’s a colorful and fun Mosaic Jelly recipe—perfect for parties or dessert platters. It’s made with cubes of flavored gelatin set in a creamy base, creating a “stained-glass” effect.
🌈 Mosaic Jelly Recipe
🧂 Ingredients
For the jelly cubes:
- 3–4 small packets of flavored gelatin (e.g., strawberry, orange, lime, grape)
- 1 1/2 cups boiling water (1/2 cup per packet)
- 1 1/2 cups cold water (1/2 cup per packet)
For the creamy base:
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 packet (7 g) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup hot water
🥣 Instructions
1. Make the colored jelly cubes:
- Dissolve each flavored gelatin packet in 1/2 cup boiling water.
- Add 1/2 cup cold water.
- Pour into separate small dishes and refrigerate until firm (about 2–3 hours).
2. Cut the cubes:
- Once set, cut each color into small 1/2–inch cubes.
3. Prepare the creamy base:
- Sprinkle unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup cold water. Let bloom 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup hot water and stir until completely dissolved.
- Mix in sweetened condensed milk.
4. Assemble the mosaic jelly:
- Lightly grease a loaf pan or mold.
- Place the jelly cubes randomly in the pan.
- Pour the creamy gelatin mixture over the cubes gently.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight) until fully set.
5. Serve:
- Run a knife along the edges to loosen.
- Slice into squares or scoop with a spoon for a beautiful mosaic effect.
🔥 Tips for Best Results
- Use contrasting colors for a more striking mosaic.
- Don’t stir the cubes after adding the creamy gelatin, or colors may mix.
- For a lighter texture, replace half of the condensed milk with milk.
If you want, I can also give a quick 30-minute microwave version that skips overnight chilling but still creates a colorful mosaic effect.
