Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 3-oz boxes strawberry gelatin
  • 1 envelope unflavored gelatin
  • 4 cups boiling water divided
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Dissolve one box of strawberry gelatin in 1 cup boiling water, pour a thin layer into a glass dish, and chill until set.
  2. Bloom the unflavored gelatin in the cold water, then dissolve in 1 cup boiling water and stir in the condensed milk and vanilla for the white layer.
  3. Pour a thin white layer over the set red layer and chill until firm.
  4. Continue alternating thin red and white layers, chilling each until set before adding the next.
  5. Once all the ribbons are firm, slice to reveal the striped layers.

Keep each layer thin and fully set before pouring the next for crisp ribbons.
