3ouncered gelatin – your choice of cherrystrawberry or red raspberry
1envelope unflavored gelatin
1 ⅓cupsboiling water
1cupmilk
¼cupgranulated sugar
Maraschino cherries
vodkaoptional if you want to make them boozy
Instructions
Prep your cups on a cookie sheet so that you can easily move them to the fridge once poured.
In a medium sized bowl, add the blue gelatin and pour ⅔ cup of the boiling water over the gelatin. Stir until dissolved. If you want to make these treat boozy you can at this point add in a little vodka. I do not give you an exact measurement for this because some people like it strong and others just a splash.
Allow the blue gelatin to cool (but not set) before pouring it into each cup, about a ⅓ full. Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.
In a clean medium-sized bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over ⅓ cup of milk and let it bloom.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining ⅔ cup of milk to almost boiling, either in a saucepan, or in the microwave. Add the hot milk to the bloomed gelatin and stir until completely absorbed/dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool then pour the white jello on top of the blue Jello until about ⅔ full.
Return to fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow to set.
In a medium-sized bowl, add the red gelatin and pour ⅔ cup of boiling water over the gelatin. Stir until the gelatin is dissolved. If you are making these boozy you can add more vodka to this step too.
Allow the red gelatin to cool before pouring it into each cup. Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set.
Place a toothpick into each maraschino cherry at the stem end so that you can press the toothpick into the white jello to keep the stem upright while the red jello sets.
Place cups in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours to fully set.
